CHETAK LLC Group initiated a recall of its frozen germs of the deep brand because they were determined to be the cause of a salmonella epidemic.
Routine tests by Food and Drug Administration found the contamination of Salmonella Anatum. The whole genome tests have shown that the frozen germs of the deep brand were contaminated by the same strain of salmonella that infected patients with epidemic.
It is to be feared that consumers still have the frozen germs recalled in their freezers at home. Consumers can use the following information to identify the germs recalled. For product photos, click here.
