H-E-B issues recall for certain bakery products
H-E-B Grocery Co. on Friday issued a voluntary recall for certain bakery products made with Valley Milk Products LLC’s High Heat Nonfat Dry Milk Powder due to potential Salmonella risk.
The H-E-B recall is part of a larger recall issued by Valley Milk Products affecting several retailers. Apart from H-E-B, the recall affects Mi Tienda in-store bakeries in Texas, including Dallas-Fort Worth, and Mexico.
The list of recalled products includes Fresh Strawberry Boston, Fresh Strawberry Boston Cake, Boston Sundae Cake, Boston Sundae Cake Chocolate, and Boston with Fresh Fruit.
The issue of potential Salmonella risk was discovered during a routine sampling by the FDA. The company claimed that no case of illness related to the consumption of the recalled products was reported to date, and the recall was just as a precaution.
Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young kids, elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare cases, it can cause severe illnesses like arterial infections, endocarditis and even arthritis.
