Area Whole Foods Stores Recall Trail Mix For Salmonella Risk
SOUTH FLORIDA (CBSMiami) — Whole Foods Market is recalling Treasure Trove Mix, sold as a bulk item, in three South Florida stores due to possible Salmonella contamination.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
