Reason for recall
On December 19th, Small Fry Inc. was advised by their seasoning supplier that an ingredient in the Sour Cream & Chive seasoning was subject to a RECALL. The ingredient is nonfat dry milk powder, and was produced by their supplier. An FDA inspection identified Salmonella at the supplier's facility.
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.
