What happened

Ready-to-eat "Super Asian Chicken Salad" products sold at Amazon Go in Washington are subject to a public health alert due to potential Salmonella contamination in the peanut butter used in the salad dressing. The affected products are 14.5-ounce plastic clamshell containers with "Best Thru" dates ranging from 05/16 through 06/03 and establishment number "P-214," produced between May 11 and May 23, 2022. No confirmed illnesses or adverse reactions have been reported from consuming these products.

Salmonella contamination can cause salmonellosis, with symptoms including diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever occurring within 6 hours to 6 days after eating contaminated food; the illness typically lasts 4 to 7 days and most people recover without treatment, though severe cases may require hospitalization, particularly in older adults, infants, and people with weakened immune systems. The recall document urges consumers who have purchased these products to throw them away or return them to the place of purchase and not consume them.
