No health issues have been reported because of the products, but health officials advise no one should eat them because of possible salmonella contamination.

Salmonella causes roughly 1.2 million illnesses and 450 deaths in the U.S. every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most people recover from salmonella without treatment, health officials said. Symptoms include diarrhea, fever and cramps.
