Understanding this recall
What happened
NatureBest Pre-Cut & Produce is recalling Heb-guac Kit-mild-3/57.5oz because the jalapeños in it may be contaminated with Salmonella.
Why it matters
Salmonella bacteria can cause salmonellosis, with diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps that usually start 6 hours to 6 days after exposure. Most people recover within a week, but young children, adults 65 and older, pregnant people and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to become seriously ill. Foods eaten raw or uncooked, like fresh peppers, salsa, sprouts and powders, can't be made safe by the consumer. Fresh-cut produce and pico de gallo are usually eaten raw.
Who should pay attention
Shoppers in Texas and Louisiana, including H-E-B customers (several items carry HEB item names).
Distribution in the FDA report: Texas and Louisiana
