This alarming finding was communicated through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF), highlighting the potential health risks associated with consuming these products.
Salmonella is a well-known bio-contaminant that can lead to severe foodborne illnesses. Symptoms of Salmonella infection may include fever, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting, which can be particularly dangerous for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

Consumers are advised to stay informed about this incident and to check for any recalls or safety notices related to almond-based products. It is crucial to practice safe food handling and preparation methods to minimize the risk of foodborne illnesses. If you suspect you have consumed contaminated products, seek medical attention promptly.
