The agency says the possibly contaminated products were sold between March 30 to May 7, and March 21 to May 9 respectively.
People are advised not to consume, serve, use or distribute the recalled products.
The agency warns that food infected with salmonella might not look or smell spoiled, but can still cause illness including fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems can contract serious and even deadly infections if exposed to salmonella, the agency says.
