FRAMEWORK EXPORT INTRODUCED SHRIMP OVER SALMONAL CONTAMINATION
According to the FDA, salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, vulnerable as well as older people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Common symptoms can include fever, diarrhea (which can be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, a salmonella infection can also result in more serious diseases such as arterial infections (ie infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

Anyone who has the recalled peaches in their possession should immediately pick them up or return them to the place of purchase for a refund, the FDA said.
Consumers, restaurants and suppliers should also use extra vigilance when cleaning and sanitizing all surfaces and containers that may come in contact with the product to reduce the risk of cross-contamination, including cutting boards, slicers, countertops, refrigerators and storage bins. .
