King Nut Peanut Butter Recall - Salmonella


Posted on Jan 26, 2009

King Nut Companies, an Ohio-based food distributor, announced a recall for its two brands of peanut butter after an open container was found to contain salmonella bacteria.  MSNBC reported, King Nut Companies has also announced a stop in the distribution of peanut butter under their brands King Nut and Parnell's Pride that begin with lot code number 8.  The peanut butter is distributed through a handful of food service providers in 8 different states.


The strain of salmonella has not been linked to the Peter Pan & Great Value (ConAgra Foods) salmonella outbreak that caused about 623people to become ill in about 47 different states  almost two years ago.

Friday, the Center for Disease Control announced that 399 cases have been confirmed nationally, and MSNBC reports that about 1 in 5 has been hospitalized. California and Ohio have the highest volume of reported cases with 55 and 53 people who have become sick.

The CDC reports that the illnesses began somewhere between the beginning of September and the end of December.  However, most of the cases were reported around the beginning of October.
