Spice Mix Sold at Lidl Recalled Over Salmonella Risk: See Product
A spice mix sold at Lidl stores in nine states and Washington, DC, is being recalled due to potential salmonella contamination, according to a notice published on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website.
According to the Aug. 12 notice, the recall affects one lot of Vitasia Asian Style Wok Spice Mix, sold at Lidl stores between July 24 and Aug. 10. The affected products were sold in Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia and Washington, DC. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the recall.
What Product Is Affected?
The recalled product is Vitasia Chinese Style brand Asian Style Wok Spice Mix. It has UPC No. 4335619355491, Lot No. 155846 and a best-by date of June 2028.
Customers with the affected product should immediately discard it or return it to their nearest Lidl store for a full refund. No receipt is required, according to Lidl.
Symptoms of Salmonella Poisoning
Symptoms usually start six hours to six days after ingesting the bacteria. Common symptoms include diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Most healthy people recover in four to seven days without treatment. But adults 65 and older and people with weakened immune systems may experience more severe illness requiring medical treatment or hospitalization.
The CDC advises contacting a health care professional for diarrhea with a fever higher than 102 degrees Fahrenheit, diarrhea lasting more than three days without improvement, bloody diarrhea, vomiting that prevents keeping liquids down, or signs of dehydration such as infrequent urination, dry mouth and throat, or dizziness when standing.
