Sample Test Reveals Contamination
The Food and Drug Administration found contamination in a sample test.
No one has reported getting sick but the Boise, Idaho-based company is urging people to throw away or return the products back to the store for a full refund.
The highly contagious norovirus can cause vomiting and diarrhea and its symptoms are especially severe for the elderly, young children and people with health issues.
