Peanut-Related Recalls Continue

The products affected in Canada are:

No known illnesses have been reported to date in connection with these products. The recall was initiated after it was determined that the peanut product received was manufactured by Peanut Corporation of America. Nature’s Path Organic Foods has informed FDA of its actions and is fully cooperating with the Agency.

Meanwhile, Erin Baker’s Wholesome Baked Goods of Bellingham, WA is expanding its recall of Peanut Butter Breakfast Cookies, Rocky Road Breakfast Cookies and Peanut Butter Home-style Granola to include additional code dates and well as recalling Peanut Seed Treats and Peanut Butter Brownie Bites as a precautionary measure because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. This action is a result of the PCA expanded recall for all products manufactured in their Plainview, TX facility.

The following recalled products were sold nationwide through grocery, mailorder and other retail stores.

There are no reported illnesses associated with these products. Erin Baker’s says it has informed the FDA of its actions and is fully cooperating with the agency.

The PCA recall has become one of the largest food recalls in U.S. history. On February 20, PCA issued a statement indicating it had filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and that it was no longer able to communicate with customers regarding recalled products.

As a result, FDA and officials from the State of Texas DSHS are now coordinating their efforts to notify companies that received product from PCA’s Plainview, TX facility from January 1, 2007 forward.

PCA suspended operation of its Plainview, TX facility on February 10 at the request of the Texas DSHS, after several conditions that posed human health risk were discovered. On February 12, the State of Texas issued an emergency order directing PCA to cease the manufacture and distribution of all food products at the facility and issued a mandatory recall order requiring PCA to recall all products manufactured at the plant.

The FDA now has a database that consumers can search to see if their favorite products are involved in any recalls.
