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

No illnesses reports have been associated with the recall, 4C says.

Consumers are asked to bring the products back to wherever they bought them for a full refund.
