The FSIS states they have been working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to investigate a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis illnesses across eight states. USA Today reports that Michigan was a state listed in the outbreak, and that the Kirkwood products are sold at Aldi locations.

Consumers with questions about the recall can call the Serenade Foods Hotline at (866) 873-7589.

According to the CDC:

  • Most people infected with Salmonella experience diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps.
    • Symptoms usually start 6 hours to 6 days after swallowing the bacteria.
    • Most people recover without treatment after 4 to 7 days.
  • Some people – especially children younger than 5 years, adults 65 years and older, and people with weakened immune systems – may experience more severe illnesses that require medical treatment or hospitalization.
