New Mexico-based Sunland peanuts and products which contain Sunland peanuts are being recalled due to potential Salmonella contamination.
The list of foods being recalled keeps growing. Now, PureFit nutrition bars are voluntarily recalling all Peanut Butter Crunch bars since they were supplied by Sunland.
According to the FDA, PureFit is working alongside the FDA to recall any bars manufactured between March 1 and July 12 or sold between March 9 and August 31.
Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause serious and even fatal infections in children, the elderly, and people with weak immune systems. In healthy adults, Salmonella can cause sickness such as fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pains.
So far, this is just a precaution, and no illnesses have been reported.
AdvancePierre Foods is also recalling their frozen peanut butter products since they contain Sunland peanuts.
These items include the frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, frozen peanut butter cups, and frozen peanut butter and jelly graham crackers.
The recall consists of any products produced between July 17, 2011 and May 18, 2012.
Meadow Gold Dairy is also recalling the Western Family Creamery Select ice cream in peanut butter flavor.
The dates to watch for on are "best by" dates of September 9, 2011 through October 3, 2013.
If you have one of the recall products that match the contaminated dates, please contact the parent company for further instructions.
