Springfield, MO–(ENEWSPF)–March 31, 2010. Bass Pro Shops® is voluntarily recalling one lot of Uncle Buck’s® Beer Batter Mix Lightly-Seasoned as a precautionary measure because the product was received from a supplier that used crushed black pepper that may have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis. For more information on Salmonella, please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Website at http://www.cdc.gov
