Plain-English summary

While most healthy adults recover from salmonellosis without treatment, some cases can be severe.
The product was distributed directly to the states of Florida, Georgia, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas, and was subsequently shipped further from the firm's direct accounts.
