In addition, you should wash items and surfaces that may have touched the recalled frozen sprouted beans using hot soapy water or a dishwasher.

Most people infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps 6 hours to 6 days after being exposed to the bacteria.

The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days, and most people recover without treatment.

In some people, the illness may be so severe that the patient is hospitalized.

Children younger than 5, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to have severe illness.

Call your healthcare provider if you have any severe Salmonella symptoms.
