Cesena, recall of egg whites for Salmonella risk

The Italian Ministry of Health issued a recall notice for pasteurized egg whites from free-range hens produced in Calisese di Cesena, in the province of Forlì-Cesena. The recall is due to the presence of Salmonella spp in the product. The product is not fit for human consumption. The persons who have the recalled product can return it to the point of sale where it was purchased, where they will receive a refund. Salmonella is the most common food-borne infection and can cause salmonellosis. Generally, it is a mild disease that does not require hospitalization, but it may often result in complications requiring serious medical attention.
