Other dry products have also been implicated in foodborne illness, particularly salmonellosis. Intermediate moisture foods (e.g., those with water activity between 0.60 and 0.85) are also included in this discussion. Chocolate, paprika, potato chips and dried milk are additional dry products that have also been associated with foodborne salmonellosis. More recently, recalls have occurred that are associated with Enterobacter sakazakii in non-sterile dry infant formula, and this pathogen has been isolated from a number of other dry foods. Neonatal illness from this microbe can be quite severe, including sepsis, meningitis and death.
