The recall was issued after a sample of garlic powder from a store in North Augusta, South Carolina tested by the FDA was found to be contaminated with Salmonella. Out of an “abundance of caution,” Kroger recalled all four seasonings produced on the same equipment in the same facility.

Customers who bought the products should not consume them, even if some has already been safely consumed. They should be returned to the store for a full refund.

The illness can last for up to one week. Healthy adults usually recover without needing medical attention, but some patients need to be hospitalized.
