The affected 44.8-ounce chili kits have best-by dates of April 4, 2018; May 1, 2018; and April 5, 2018. Consumers should return the chili kit to the store where it was purchased.

Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause diarrhea, fever and cramps. While most people recover, the elderly, infants or people with impaired immune systems might need to go to the hospital.

No one has reported an adverse reaction from the product.
