Lidl US has announced a voluntary recall for the 8.4 oz Favorina branded Advent Calendar (Premium Chocolate with a Creamy Filling) due to potential Salmonella contamination.
Symptoms of a Salmonella infection include nausea, fever, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea that can be bloody. These symptoms usually develop within six to 72 hours of exposure. Anyone who ate the candy and developed these symptoms should see a doctor and mention exposure to Salmonella.
