To date, the Quaker Oats Company has not received any confirmed reports of illness related to the products covered by this recall, the FDA notes. But salmonella can cause fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

In mid-November, a salmonella outbreak began tied to whole and pre-cut cantaloupes from multiple fruit brands. At least three people in America and five in Canada have died, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Public Health Agency of Canada, while hundreds have been reported sick and hospitalized.

Those infected with salmonella may experience symptoms such as diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. "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," the FDA says.
