U.S. Recalls Common Food Flavoring After Contamination
U.S. food regulators announced a voluntary recall of food made with hydrolyzed vegetable protein that could be contaminated with salmonella bacteria.
Hydrolyzed vegetable protein is used in soups, sauces, hot dogs, snack foods, dressings and dips.
A handful of companies have recalled products ranging from dips, potato chips and dressings to tofu, burritos and pasta.
Salmonella can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, and can also cause bloodstream infection and organ failure.
