Salmonella News: Peanut Butter Recalls Continue To Expand
.jpg)
The Peanut Corporation of America (PCA), in a press release, has announced an expanded recall of peanut butter products produced at its Blakely, Georgia facility. The expanded recall covers products produced at the facility since January 1, 2007 (the previous recalls only involved peanut butter and peanut paste products distributed from the facility since July 1, 2008). In addition to peanut butter and peanut paste, the expanded recall includes all peanuts (dry roasted and oil roasted), granulated peanuts, peanut meal and similar products.
PCA reports that, although none of the products involved in the expanded recall were distributed for direct consumer sale, the products were distributed to downstream manufacturers for use as ingredients in many other products. Amended lists of products potentially affected by the expanded recall have not yet been released, and will likely be announced in the coming days.
