Reason For Recall:

The items have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, according to the FDA.

Salmonella can cause "serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems."

Palmer Candy Company was told by its liquid coating supplier that there was a potential for contamination with salmonella from an ingredient that was potentially contaminated by one of their suppliers.

"In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis," the FDA states.

Recall Given Class I Risk Level

On Tuesday, the FDA classified the recall as a "Class I" recall. Which is the highest-risk level given out by the FDA.
