Production of the product has been suspended while FDA and the company continue their investigation into the source of the problem.

Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-888-272-8780, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. EDT. *Salmonella* bacteria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with *Salmonella* often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with *Salmonella* can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (e.g., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
