A total of 16 Ritz brand products will be recalled due to possible salmonella contamination. This was announced on Saturday by Mondelēz Global LLC, the East Hanover, New Jersey-based product manufacturer.

The products will be collected from warehouses in the United States, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico and include certain types of Ritz Cracker cheese sandwiches and Ritz Bits products, which are very popular with children.

It is feared that the whey powder the cookies were made from could contain salmonella, a statement said.

"Salmonella is a microorganism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections among children, the elderly and others with a weakened immune system," said the document. "Healthy people who have been infected with salmonella sometimes have symptoms like fever, diarrhea (which may have blood), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain."

According to the statement so far, no people have been reported to have become ill from consuming the products included in the removal of merchandise and the removal of merchandise is a mere precaution, according to what has been said.

"Consumers who have these products should not eat them and should throw away all the products of this type that they still have [at home]," it is reported.

It is also specified that only the products mentioned in the official statement from Mondelēz Global LLC could be affected by the contamination of the microorganism.

Those who have recently purchased or consumed Ritz products and who have questions regarding this matter are urged to call 1-844-366-1171, 24 hours a day Monday through Friday from 9 am to 6:00 pm from the east.
