In response to potential Salmonella contamination, Western Family brand has initiated a recall of its yogurt and milk chocolate covered pretzels in British Columbia, with possible expansion to other provinces and territories. The affected products include:

Salmonella contamination may not be evident through appearance or smell, yet it can cause serious health issues, especially for vulnerable groups such as young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Symptoms may include fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea, potentially leading to severe complications like arthritis.

Individuals who have purchased these products are urged to either dispose of them or return them to the point of purchase for a refund. Stay informed about product recalls and prioritize food safety to safeguard your health and well-being.
