To date, no salmonella infections or other adverse events have been associated with the recall, according to the FDA.
Mondelez issued the recall after being informed by one of its suppliers that whey contained in the Ritz Crackers products may have been contaminated with salmonella.
The signs and symptoms of salmonella infection depend on the overall health of the infected person, as well as the particular serotype of the bacteria. In most cases, symptoms occur about 12-72 hours after ingestion of the bacteria, and include fever, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
