According to store officials, there have been no reports to date of illness due to consumption of the recalled products.

Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses. Salmonella infections can be life-threatening, especially to those with weak immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy, Giant said.

Customers should throw away the recalled products and bring their purchase receipt to the store for a refund.
