Reason for recall

Salmonella. Beef & Lamb Gyro Sandwich Express Meal Kit contains implicated cucumber in the tzatziki sauce 3oz. cup.

Salmonella causes fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramps, usually 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Most people recover without treatment, but severe cases can need hospital care.
