In cooperation with Taylor Farms’ expanded recall of products containing grape tomatoes, Safeway is expanding its recall to now include fresh kabobs made with grape tomatoes that were sold in its full-service meat counter in several states, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) just announced.

The recalled kabobs were made using grape tomatoes supplied by Taylor Farms and sourced from grower Six L’s and involve a potential Salmonella contamination on which we have been reporting. The recalled kabobs were sold between April 26, 2011 and May 3, 2011; have a Sell By Date up to, and including, May 3, 2011; and were sold in Safeway, Vons, Pavilions, and Pak N Save stores in Arizona, California, Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota, and Southwest Washington State. To date, no illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall; however, it can take some time for the symptoms of Salmonella to manifest.

Contamination with the Salmonella pathogen, which can cause the infection known as salmonellosis, can lead to serious consequences, most especially in the elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems, who may experience a more serious illness and symptoms. In these patients, the infection may spread from the intestines to the blood stream, and then to other body sites, and can cause death unless the person is treated promptly with antibiotics.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) note that people suffering from salmonellosis usually experience symptoms beginning 12 to 72 hours after becoming contaminated. Symptoms may include fever, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea and usually last 4 to 7 days. Most people recover without antibiotic treatment; however, diarrhea can be very severe, and hospitalization may be required.
