Planters Nuts Recalled in 5 States Due to Listeria Fears
May 6, 2024
Fans of Planters Nuts should check their products if they live in five states where the snack foods were recalled due to listeria fears.
A press release from The Food and Drug Administration announced that a limited number of two Planters products produced at one of the company’s facilities in April are being recalled. Hormel Foods Sales, LLC says the recall impacts two retailers in five states.
The products were shipped to Publix distribution warehouses in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and North Carolina and Dollar Tree distribution warehouses in South Carolina and Georgia. They are being recalled because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause severe and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or older adults, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms, such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
