No reports of anyone getting sick from the products have come in, according to Stop & Shop. However the company gives the following warning.

"Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses," according to Stop & Shop. "Salmonella infections can be life-threatening, especially to those with weak immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy. The most common manifestations of salmonellosis are diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within eight to 72 hours. Additional symptoms may be chills, headache, nausea and vomiting that can last up to seven days."

Anyone who has bought any of the recalled items should throw them out and bring in a receipt to Stop & Shop to get a refund.
