Guidelines from the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warn that consumers should avoid any raw products made with flour.
Salmonella infantis is killed by heat by baking, frying, sautéing or boiling products made from flour. Properly clean all surfaces, hands and utensils after touching flour or dough.
Healthy people infected with Salmonella infantis, a type of bacteria, usually experience nausea, diarrhea, fever, and abdominal pain.
The CDC estimates there are 1.2 million cases in the United States each year.
Typically, symptoms appear within 6 hours to 6 days of infection and last 4 to 7 days.
Any consumer concerned about illness should contact their doctor.
