The Coffee Connexion Co. has initiated a voluntary recall of 913 cases of its Alfredo sauce due to concerns over potential salmonella contamination. The recall, which impacts products sold in 41 states, was prompted by the discovery that the sauce contains dry milk powder previously recalled by its supplier for potential salmonella contamination.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) designated the recall as Class I on June 4, signifying a "reasonable probability" that consuming the product could lead to adverse health consequences or death. Salmonella bacteria can cause salmonellosis, with symptoms including diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. While most individuals recover within a week, the infection can be severe for young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems, potentially requiring hospitalization.
