Candy sold at Walmart, Target, Dollar General, and other stores across the U.S. has been recalled due to potential salmonella contamination.

The Palmer Candy Company is recalling its “White Coated Confectionary Items” after being alerted by its liquid coating supplier about possible contamination.

The recall, classified as a “Class I” by the FDA, indicates a high risk of serious health consequences.

The affected products, including pretzels, cookies, and snack mixes, were sold nationwide, Fox Business has reported.

No illnesses have been reported, and Palmer Candy has suspended production of the impacted items. Salmonella infection can cause severe intestinal illness, especially in vulnerable individuals.
