Risk of Salmonella Prompts Egg Noodle Recall

Washington, DCReal Taste Noodle Manufacture of Chicago, IL is recalling bags of Egg Noodle (5lbs per bag, 10 bags per case), because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella,an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

Bags of Egg Noodle might be effected in this recall were distributed between 06/12/2010 and 08/25/2010 to restaurants and grocery wholesalers either by pick up or delivery.

As of today, no illnesses have been reported to the manufacture. This recall has been initiated due to recent massive egg recall by egg-producing companies. Eggs that manufacture used in the manufacture of egg noodles from June to August, 2010 could be contaminated with Salmonella.
