What is salmonella infection?
People with salmonella infection often suffer diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps after getting in contact with infected animals, their feces, or their environment or eating contaminated food or drinking contaminated water.
Pork King Good has voluntarily recalled specific sour cream & onion pork rind and seasoning products, after a supplier notified the company of a potential Salmonella contamination issue tied to milk powder used in its seasoning blend.
The recall was published by the Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday.

Pork King Good also noted that its own internal testing has not identified contamination in finished goods currently on the market.

"We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or concern this may cause our customers and retail partners. The trust you place in Pork King Good means everything to us, and we are committed to making this right," the company continued.

Recall follows other notices involving milk powder
The backstory:
According to the company, the recall was initiated after California Dairies, Inc. issued its own recall involving milk powder ingredients that may have been contaminated with Salmonella. The affected milk powder was used in Pork King Good’s Sour Cream & Onion seasoning products.

This news comes after contaminated dry milk powder has led to other recalls of products over salmonella concerns.
On Tuesday, John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. announced they were recalling several snack mixes and trail mixes that were seasoned, in part, with the dry milk powder.
Dig deeper:
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Salmonella is a group of bacteria that can cause gastrointestinal illness and fever called Salmonellosis.
Most people infected with Salmonella experience diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps.
Symptoms usually start 6 hours to 6 days after swallowing the bacteria, and most people recover without treatment after 4 to 7 days.
Some people – especially children younger than 5, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems – may experience more severe illnesses that require medical treatment or hospitalization.
Severe symptoms include diarrhea and a fever higher than 102°F, diarrhea for more than 3 days that is not improving, bloody diarrhea, so much vomiting that you cannot keep liquids down, signs of dehydration such as not peeing much, dry mouth and throat, and feeling dizzy when standing.
