Consumers are being warned to not eat the product and to seek medical advice if they have already eaten it.
If consumed, foods contaminated with salmonella may cause severe gastroenteritis.
Symptoms may start between six hours and seven days after infection and include fever, diarrhoea and loss of appetite.
Most patients diagnosed with salmonella recover with fluid replacement programs and generally do not require antibiotics.
The items can be returned to their place of purchase for a full refund.
