Pro Nutech Peanut Granules Recalled Due to Salmonella Contamination Risk

Pro Nutech Inc. is recalling Medium Chopped Peanut Granules because they may be contaminated with Salmonella Typhimurium from a supplier implicated in a salmonellosis outbreak.

What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum score of 4, and the source text explicitly states the products are implicated in a recent outbreak of salmonellosis, indicating reported illness which elevates the severity to Critical (5).

Plain-English summary

Pro Nutech Inc. is recalling Medium Chopped Peanut Granules, Product Code #410016, which were packaged in 30 lb. vacuum-packed plastic bags within cardboard shipping boxes. The total quantity subject to recall is 269,400 lbs. The specific lot codes subject to recall are: 7029-7024-6355-6361-6356; 7130-7116, 7144-7170-7152; 7205-7201; 7269-7268; 7302-7303; 8002-8004; 8023-8025; 8067-8066; 8135-8136; 8157-8154-8155-8148-8151; 8185-8189-8190; and 8220-8208-8214-8207-8213.

Peanuts and peanut products produced by PCA have been implicated in a recent outbreak of salmonellosis, and these products may be contaminated with Salmonella Typhimurium.

The recalled peanut products were distributed to two customers: Country Oven Bakery in Bowling Green, KY, and Smith's Bakery in Layton, UT. Consumers should check their inventory for the specific lot codes listed above and stop using the product if it matches the recall criteria.
