Federal health officials have announced a recall for alfredo sauce distributed across numerous U.S. states due to concerns of salmonella contamination. The voluntary recall was initiated by the supplier, The Coffee Connexion Co. Inc., based in Lebanon, Tennessee, after a dry milk powder ingredient was found to be potentially contaminated.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified this recall as its highest risk category, indicating a reasonable probability of serious adverse health effects or death. A total of 913 cases of the sauce were affected, with each case containing 12 sealed bags, and each bag weighing over 3 pounds.
Symptoms of salmonella poisoning typically appear within 12 to 72 hours after consumption and include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps, usually lasting four to seven days. Severe infections can occur in vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems. The FDA did not immediately respond to requests for further information.
