Understanding this recall
What happened
Lidl is recalling Vitasia Asian Style Wok Spice Mix after a test found Salmonella in the product.
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. Spices are often added near the end of cooking or sprinkled on food afterward, so they may not be heated enough to kill bacteria.
