Candy Recall at Texas Walmart, Target, and Dollar General Stores
Palmer Candy Company, based in Sioux City, Iowa, has issued a recall for its "White Coated Confectionary Items" due to potential contamination with Salmonella.
Salmonella can cause severe infections, particularly in vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms of Salmonella infection include fever, diarrhea (possibly bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, it can lead to more serious conditions like arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis.
Where?
The recalled items were distributed nationwide through retail stores and wholesalers, including major outlets like Walmart, HyVee, Target, Dollar General, and various distributors across several states.
These confectionary items were sold in various retail packaging formats such as bags, pouches, and tubs. As of now, no illnesses related to this issue have been reported.
What Happened?
The recall was initiated after Palmer Candy was informed by its liquid coating supplier about potential Salmonella contamination from an ingredient sourced by one of their suppliers. Production of the affected product has been halted while investigations by the FDA and the company are ongoing to identify the source of the problem.
What Do We Do?
Consumers who have purchased the recalled White Coated Confectionary Items are advised to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. For inquiries, customers can contact Palmer Candy Company at 1-800-831-0828, Monday through Friday, from 8 am to 5 pm.
