Mondelez International Inc. is recalling some Ritz crackers made
with an ingredient that could have salmonella bacteria.
Mondelez said the supplier of whey powder for its crackers
recalled the ingredients due to the potential presence of the
bacteria.
There have been no complaints of illness reported to Mondelez in
connection with the crackers, the company said. "The company is
conducting this recall as a precaution," a statement said.
Salmonella causes symptoms like fever, diarrhea and vomiting.
Most people recover, but it can be fatal in children, elderly
people or those with weak immune systems.
The bacteria has been responsible for at least eight other
multistate outbreaks of foodborne illnesses this year.
Last month, Kellogg Co. recalled 11 million of boxes of Honey
Smacks cereal due to salmonella. The tainted cereal has been linked
to illnesses in at least 100 people across the country, according
to regulators.
