The FDA is classifying the recall as Class I, meaning there's a chance that the product may cause "serious adverse health consequences or death." Healthy persons infected with salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Symptoms usually start 6 hours to 6 days after infection and typically last 4 to 7 days. In rare circumstances, an infection can spread throughout the body, causing more severe illnesses such as meningitis, endocarditis, and arthritis. Children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems are most at risk.

If you purchased the cookie dough, dispose of it immediately or return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
