Trader Joe's officials say they are acting "out of an abundance of caution" and <a href="http://www.traderjoes.com/about/customer-updates-responses.asp?i=86" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ordering the recall</a> of one type of the grocer's house brand peanut butter following salmonella concerns. "Trader Joe's Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter" should not be eaten, the Monrovia-based specialty grocery chain said. "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." The Woodbury Trader Joe's is located along Hudson Road. The Food and Drug Administration posted the company's voluntary recall on its web site, but did not comment on the company's statement. 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. Trader Joe's is offering refunds. —City News Service contributed to this report.
