The recalled packages are marked UPC 6 20383 01038 2, with the lot codes 01X22C, 01X29C, 02X07C and 02X13C.

Food contaminated with salmonella may not look or smell spoiled, but it can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.
