On May 10, 2016, an Iowa company, Frontier Co-op, issued a recall of its Organic Hojicha Tea over fears it might contain Salmonella, a very harmful bacteria that causes salmonellosis, which can be both painful and last for one to two weeks - it can also be deadly in small children, the elderly, and to those with compromised immune systems. Salmonellosis often causes fever (which some other bacteria do not), diarrhea (which may contain blood, though not to the extent of E. coli infections, normally), nausea, vomiting and severe cramping or abdominal pain. It can also lead to arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms, sepsis), endocarditis, severe reactive arthritis, and to long-term post-infectious IBS or IBD. In short, whole most people will recover in a matter of a week or two, some will suffer side effects for months or even years. Close monitoring is required. See you medical professional and then, if you are considering a salmonella lawsuit, you may want to contact a salmonella lawyer.
