Check Your Pantry: Massive Alfredo Sauce Recall Impacts Illinois

Apparently, the sauce contains dry milk powder supplied by a company that has already announced a recall due to potential Salmonella contamination.

While that one started on May 6, it was just last week that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified it as a Class 1 recall, the agency’s most serious recall category, meaning there is a reasonable probability that consuming the Alfredo sauce could cause serious health complications or even death.

Class 1 Health Risk: FDA Warns of Potential Salmonella Contamination

When it comes to salmonella poisoning, symptoms can appear anywhere from six hours to six days after exposure, and while healthy adults mostly recover within a week, young kids, older people, and those with weakened immune systems are among those who are at greatest risk of severe illness.

Some Salmonella cases even require hospitalization, and while there have been no reports of illness, the FDA’s highest-level recall means officials are taking the potential contamination risk quite seriously.
