Health officials have announced a recall of popular sweets sold at Walmart stores across the US due to concerns about contamination with deadly bacteria.
Iowa-based Palmer Candy Company voluntarily recalled its ‘White Coated Confectionary Items’ this week after finding they could be contaminated with salmonella, a foodborne illness that infects 1.3 million Americans a year.
The FDA said that affected products – mixtures of snacks like pretzels, popcorn and chocolates – were distributed nationwide in Walmart, HyVee, Target, and Dollar General stores.
