Food Recall: Trader Joe’s Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter

Possible Salmonella Contamination Forces Product Recall [U.S]

By , Farms.com

A voluntary food recall has been issued by Trader Joe’s for their Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter, over possible salmonella contamination according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The recalled product in question is sold in 16_oz plastic jars with an expiration date stamped below the lid.

The recalled peanut butter was distributed nationwide and currently is thought to be responsible for 29 cases of Salmonella poisoning in at least 18 states, with more than three-quarters of the reported illnesses in children under the age of 18. There have been no reported deaths. People reported illness between June 11 and September 2 2012.

The company has removed all the potentially affected peanut butter from their shelves. "We have no confirmed information that suggests this peanut butter is unsafe to eat," the company stated. But the food should not be eaten "pending health-related inquiries."
