HAYWARD, Calif. — Thal Golden Spices Inc. is recalling 640 packs of “Bikano Moong Dal 350g" because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, 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 more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

Thal Golden Spices Inc recently discovered an oversight in the distribution process of one of its products. Unfortunately, the product was released without proper lab results.

The company is actively addressing this situation to ensure compliance and rectify the error.
