Illness typically occurs within 15 to 50 days of eating or drinking contaminated food or drinks. The company said no illnesses have been linked to the recalled products so far.

Urban Remedy said those who purchased the products should not consume them, and if they have consumed them they should call their health care provider or local health department to determine if vaccination is appropriate.
