NEW JERSEY — An Edison-based importer and distributor of ethnic foods issued recalls for dozens of products after positive tests for Salmonella, the United States Food and Drug Administration said.
Chetak LLC added more Deep-branded frozen vegetable and fruit items on Sept. 8 to their list of flagged products following their initial voluntary recall on July 16. The items were packaged in flexible plastic bags with a lot number and “use by” dates on the back.
The bags were distributed nationwide, and manufactured between Dec. 18, 2024 and Aug. 18.
According to the FDA, customers with the products should immediately stop using them and either throw them away or take them back to where they were bought.

Salmonella can cause serious infections and be fatal if diagnosed in young children, frail or elderly people, or individuals with weakened immune systems. In rare cases, the organism can attack the bloodstream and lead to arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis.
Other symptoms include fever, diarrhea (which can be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
No illnesses have been directly reported as a result of consuming these specific products.
