It is essential to point out that the Salmonella bacteria do not survive in the heat of cooking, so there is no health danger to whoever eats the lentils after they have been thoroughly cooked.
In healthy people, the Salmonella bacteria is liable to cause illness that is expressed in a
high temperature, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), nausea, vomiting, and stomach aches. In
rare cases, it may cause complications. Insensitive populations such as young children,
those with a weakened immune system, and the elderly, the bacteria are liable to cause
severe disease, and sometimes it can even be fatal.
The Maya Food Industries Factory Ltd. regards the health of its customers as of prime
importance, and so it has been decided for the sake of extreme caution to recall the product from the shelves, and it is acting in conjunction with the Food Service at the Ministry of Health.
