According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Salmonella causes an estimated one million illnesses annually, with approximately 19,000 hospitalizations and 380 deaths. The most common symptoms exhibited by those infected by the bacteria include diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramping anywhere between 12 and 72 hours after being infected. While most people recover without treatment in a matter of four to seven days, the dehydration caused by severe diarrhea can require hospitalization. Children under the age of 5 years old are the most susceptible to Salmonella infection.
All customers are encouraged to avoid consumption of these particular products as well as return them to your local Kroger-affiliated grocery store for a full refund or replacement. If you think you may have consumed a product included in this recall and are exhibiting symptoms of Salmonella infection, consult with your physician.

On launch, the ZDX will be available in A-Spec and Type S trims -- both of which come equipped with a 102 kWh battery.
