Wenders LLC, the distributor of Trader Joe’s brand products, is recalling certain nuts sold at Trader Joe’s due to potential contamination with salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in older adults and people with weakened immune systems.
The problem was discovered through routine testing by the Food and Drug Administration when the nuts were imported from India or Vietnam, it said in a March 19 announcement.
The recalled products were sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Wisconsin.
At least one of the four recalled lots of 50% Less Sodium Roasted & Salted Whole Cashews (SKU number 37884) tested positive for the presence of salmonella. They include:
To find the products’ country of origin and lot number, look at the back panel of the plastic packaging. No other lot numbers or products are affected by this recall.
To date, there have been no reported illnesses.
Salmonella causes illness in 1.35 million people per year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Symptoms usually appear six hours to six days after exposure, with recovery usually within four to seven days. Common symptoms of a salmonella infection, known as salmonellosis, include:
Severe cases may lead to high fever, vomiting, bloody diarrhea and dehydration, and may be fatal.
Treatment with antibiotics is recommended for severe cases and adults over 65, infants and people with weakened immune systems.
