Peanut Butter Recall Grows Larger

Sunland, Inc. recalls an additional 90 nut butter products due to possible salmonella contamination.

A large peanut butter recall issued in September grew even more massive Thursday as nut butter manufacturer Sunland, Inc. recalled an additional 90 products that may be contaminated with Salmonella, according to a news release from the company posted Friday on the Food and Drug Administration website.

The expanded recall covers peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, Thai ginger butter, chocolate butter, banana butter and Tahini products, in addition to roasted blanched peanut products, manufactured in Sunland's Portales, N.M. peanut butter plant since March 2010. Many of the items are past their use-by dates. (See below for a complete list of recalled products.)

The potential salmonella contamination could cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the elderly or others with compromised immune systems. Healthy persons who get infected with salmonella experience fever, abdominal pain, vomiting and a most unpleasant distress of the lower intestinal system.

According to an update released Friday by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, 35 people in 19 states were infected with a strain of Salmonella that was traced back to Trader Joe's Valencia Creamy Salted Peanut Butter Made with Sea Salt. Of those 35 people, eight people have been hospitalized, and 63 percent were children younger than 10 years old.

"We are most concerned about the individuals experiencing these recent illnesses," Sunland President and CEO Jimmie Shearer said in a statement. "Sunland is dedicating all of its resources to the identification and correction of any conditions which have created the potential for Salmonella contamination in any of our products. We are reviewing every step in our manufacturing process and are confident that the expertise being applied to the investigation will enable Sunland to take any necessary corrective measures and once again produce products that families will enjoy with confidence."
