No reports of consumer illnesses and no
other PLANTERS® products are involved in this
voluntary recall.
AUSTIN,
Minn., May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hormel
Foods Sales, LLC is voluntarily recalling two varieties of
PLANTERS® products that were produced at one of its
facilities in April. This recall only impacts two retailers in five
states. These products are being recalled out of an abundance of
caution because they have the potential to be contaminated with
Listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious
and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly
people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy
individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever,
severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths
among pregnant women. No other PLANTERS® products or
retailers are involved in this recall.
There have been no reports of illness related to this recall to
date, and all retailers that received the affected product have
been properly notified. This recall is being initiated with the
knowledge of the US Food and Drug Administration.
The products were only shipped to Publix distribution warehouses
in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and North
Carolina and to Dollar Tree distribution warehouses in
South Carolina and Georgia.
The recalled product is limited to (1) 4 oz. packages of
PLANTERS® Honey Roasted Peanuts with a "Best If Used By"
date of April 11, 2025 (displayed on
package as 04 11 25) and a package UPC code of 2900002097 and (2)
8.75 oz. cans of PLANTERS® Deluxe Lightly Salted Mixed
Nuts with a "Best If Used By" date of April
5, 2026 (displayed on the bottom of the can as 05APR26) and
a package UPC code of 2900001621 on the side of the can. Photos of
the products, "Best If Used By" dates and UPC codes appear
below.
No other sizes, varieties, or other packaging configurations of
PLANTERS® brand products are included in this
recall.
If a consumer has this product, they can discard the product or
return it to the store where purchased for an exchange. If
