Peanut Butter Recall 2012

::UPDATE::

It looks like there ARE jars of peanut butter that ARE affected by this that were bought at Walmart. PLEASE check your jars and read the recall notice to see if you have any.

“I have a jar of Naturally More that I bought at Walmart last week. I checked and the number on the jar is on the list.”

There is a large peanut butter recall, and I wanted to make sure you were aware of it. So far this does NOT affect any peanut butter sold at Walmart.

Sunland Inc, out of New Mexico sells its nuts and nut butters to MANY different retailers across the country.

The federal Center for Disease Control and Prevention said there are now 30 illnesses in 19 states that can be traced to the Trader Joe’s peanut butter. No other foods have been linked to the illnesses, but Sunland recalled other products manufactured on the same equipment as the Trader Joe’s product.

In addition to Trader Joe’s, the recall includes nut products sold at Whole Foods Market, Target, Fresh & Easy, Giant Food, Harry and David, Stop & Shop Supermarket Company and several other stores. Some of the stores used Sunland ingredients in items they prepared and packaged themselves.

Brand names recalled include Archer Farms, Earth Balance, Fresh & Easy, Late July, Heinen’s, Joseph’s, Natural Value, Naturally More, Open Nature, Peanut Power Butter, Serious Food, Snaclite Power, Sprouts Farmers Market, Sprout’s, Sunland and Dogsbutter, among others.

Sunland’s recall includes 101 products, and several retailers have issued additional recalls including items made with Sunland ingredients.
