Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

The product was distributed to one distributor in NY and sold mail order through the Internet.
The product should not be used or consumed. Consumers who have any of the product are urged to destroy it. Lewis Laboratories has not received any notification of consumer illness associated with the consumption of its product.
The recall was initiated when Lewis Laboratories was notified by its supplier, that the product contained an ingredient supplied by Plainview Milk Products Cooperative, which has issued a voluntary recall on the non-fat dried milk and whey protein because of the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
Lewis Laboratories International, Ltd., says it expects to resume sales shortly.
