DHS officials are investigating one case from Alameda County of salmonellosis, a foodborne disease caused by salmonella infection, linked to the product through laboratory and epidemiological investigations. The company has voluntarily recalled all products containing unpasteurized orange juice that were shipped to wholesale distributors, restaurants, delis and other retail outlets in California, Oregon and Washington. DHS and the federal Food and Drug Administration are working with the firm to ensure the product is completely removed from sale. Salmonellosis can cause diarrhea, fever and vomiting.
Symptoms usually develop within one to four days after consuming contaminated food or drink.
Most cases get better without medications. However, infants and individuals with compromised immune systems can develop serious illness that can lead to hospitalization and even death.
