“If you purchased product with these lot codes, please discard it or return it to any Trader Joe’s for a full refund,” the retailer stated.
Salmonella is “an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems,” according to the Food and Drug Administration. Symptoms of salmonella infection can include nausea, diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
This is just the latest in a series of products the company has recalled. Trader Joe’s has had several recalls in 2023 and 2024.
On Feb. 5, 2024, Rio-López Foods recalled dairy products, including cotija cheese, sold in Trader Joe’s stores nationwide. This includes Trader Joe’s Chicken Enchiladas Verde, Cilantro Salad Dressing, Elote Chopped Salad Kit, and Southwest Salad.
At the beginning of March 2024, CJ Foods Manufacturing Beaumont Corporation recalled approximately 61,839 pounds of steamed chicken soup dumplings due to possible plastic contamination.
In 2023, the company recalled products due to potential Listeria monocytogenes. Bakkavor USA voluntarily recalled its Genova Pesto due to undeclared milk and walnuts, and the company recalled its Almond Windmill Cookies due to possible rocks.
