Review of frozen desserts Custard Apple Pulp

Salmonella infections

Salmonella is a bacterium that can contaminate many types of food. If salmonella is found in food, it will trigger an immediate recall. People can get sick if they eat or even just touch contaminated food.

The presence of salmonella will not change the appearance or smell of foods. As a result, it is not possible to determine whether a product contains bacteria. Instead of taking risks, you should simply stop using.

Salmonellosis can be fatal to young children, frail or elderly people, and people with weakened immune systems. Symptoms may include fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Bacteria can enter the bloodstream in rare cases, causing additional illnesses. Arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis are possible.

Symptoms may appear as early as 6 hours after eating contaminated foods. But they can also appear up to 6 days later. Most people recover without any treatment.

What do we have to do

Vadial Industries is urging people who have a recalled product to stop using it. They must immediately dispose of the product or return it to the store where they purchased it to receive a full refund.

People who have already eaten frozen dessert from recalled batches and are concerned about potential infection should see a doctor.
