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 source text explicitly states that the products are implicated in a recent outbreak of salmonellosis, which indicates reported illnesses and meets the criteria for a Critical severity score.

Plain-English summary

Pro Nutech Inc. is recalling 103,280 lbs of Light Dry Roasted Unsalted Split Peanuts, Product Code 400260. The product is packaged in 30 lb. vacuum-packed plastic bags inside cardboard shipping boxes. The recall involves specific lot codes: 7050, 7054, 7128, 7169, 7198, 7270, 7297-7270, 7345, 8029, 8091, 8113, 8158, 8182, 8246, 8308, and 8364.

The recall is being conducted because the peanut products contained peanuts and/or peanut butter received from Peanut Corporation of America (PCA). PCA products have been implicated in a recent outbreak of salmonellosis, and these items may be contaminated with Salmonella Typhimurium.

The recalled products were distributed to two customers: Country Oven Bakery in Bowling Green, KY, and Smith's Bakery in Layton, UT. Consumers who have purchased these products should check their lot codes and stop using them if they match the recalled list.
