(NEXSTAR) – Yet another item that may be in your pantry has been recalled over possible salmonella contamination.

A recall notice shared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration shows select croutons sold at Kroger stores in 17 states are being pulled from the shelves because an ingredient, a dry milk powder, may have been contaminated with salmonella.

The same powder has already sparked several other recalls this month.

The FDA shared the below photo of the croutons:

No illnesses have been reported in connection with the croutons, officials said.

Salmonella are bacteria that cause the illness salmonellosis. You can become infected by drinking or interacting with contaminated water; touching animals, their feces, or their spaces (a recent outbreak was linked to backyard poultry); or by eating contaminated food.

Infections are commonly associated with diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps, according to the CDC. Symptoms can begin between six hours and six days after you’ve ingested the bacteria. Most people are able to recover without receiving treatment within four to seven days, but infections can be more severe for young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.

Some may require medical treatment or hospitalization, the CDC explains. Infections can only be diagnosed with a laboratory test of a person’s stool, body tissue or fluids.

There have been 10 recalls and a health alert issued this month over potential salmonella contamination – all but two of the recalls are linked to the same recalled dry milk powder.

Affected items include pizzas, chips, snack mixes, seasoning products, cheese curds, and pita chips. You can review those items here.

A raw dog food was also recalled this month, and a previously issued recall for certain Spring & Mulberry chocolate bars was expanded.

Every year, salmonella causes roughly 1.35 million illnesses and 420 deaths.
