Chicken nuggets and fries; Ritz bits recalled

No Name brand chicken nuggets,  $10 Chicken Fries and two Christie brand Ritz crackers have been recalled due to possible salmonella contamination.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) states cheese and pizza flavored “Ritz bits” sandwiches are included in the recall along with No Name brand chicken nuggets and $10 Chicken Fries.

According to the agency, the recall was triggered by a recall in another country and findings into an investigation into a foodborne illness outbreak.

Consumers who have recalled products in their home should throw them out or return them to the store where they were purchased.

“Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections,” the agency warns. “Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis.”
