SALT LAKE CITY — Certain candies have been recalled at multiple store locations including in Utah due to Salmonella contamination. Palmer Candy Company, in Sioux City, Iowa, is recalling its “white coated confectionary items.”
The company was notified by its liquid coating supplier that there was potential for salmonella contamination due to an ingredient that was possibly contaminated from one of their suppliers.
The recalled candies were distributed nationwide to Walmart, HyVee, Target, and Dollar General.
While no illnesses have been reported to date in connection to the candies, consumers who have purchased white coated confectionary items may return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
