Gyro kits sold at Sam's Club and Sprouts stores recalled in 24 states due to salmonella concerns
The FDA announced the recall of Gyro Family Kits sold in major retail stores because the cucumbers they contain may be contaminated with salmonella.
The potential Salmonella contamination of cucumbers from Baloian Farms continues to wreak havoc. This time, two different companies have been forced to recall their Gyro Kits after using cucumbers suspected of contamination.
The first company is Fresh Creative Foods, which has announced a recall of some of its Beef & Lamb Gyro Sandwich Express Meal Kits, as the included tzatziki sauce contains cucumbers, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This product was distributed to Sam’s Club warehouses nationwide.

What are the symptoms of salmonella, and how dangerous is it?
Salmonella are bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, though most people recover within four to seven days without treatment. Those at higher risk include children under 5 years old, frail or elderly individuals over 65, and people with weakened immune systems.
Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (or bloody diarrhea), abdominal cramping, and fever. In severe cases, Salmonella can lead to arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms.
If you have purchased any recalled products, the FDA strongly urges you not to consume them and recommends returning them to the store for a full refund.
