A range of white confectionary products sold nationwide is being recalled because the treats could be contaminated with salmonella, a potentially dangerous bacteria, an Iowa company said Monday.

The recalled items were sold in retailers including Dollar General, HyVee, Target and Walmart, Sioux City-based Palmer Candy stated in a recall notice.

The company was notified by its liquid coating supplier that there was potential for contamination from an ingredient potentially tainted with salmonella by one of the supplier's suppliers, Palmer Candy said.

Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in the young, frail or elderly as well as in those with weakened immune systems, according to the notice posted by the Food and Drug Administration. It can also cause symptoms including abdominal pain, nausea, fever and vomiting in the otherwise healthy.
