Olymel S.E.C./L.P. is recalling approximately 6,804 pounds of Celebrity brand "EXTRA LEAN IMPORTED HAM 98% FAT FREE" because it may be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis. The issue was discovered during routine import sampling, though no illnesses have been confirmed to date. This ready-to-eat ham was packaged on November 5, 2020, and shipped to distributors in California for institutional use.
The ham may contain Salmonella, which can cause salmonellosis, a common bacterial foodborne illness characterized by diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. While most people recover without treatment, older adults, infants, and those with weakened immune systems are at risk for more severe illness requiring hospitalization.
