Planters nuts recalled due to potential for listeria contamination

Source: NBC News

May 6, 2024, 12:08 PM EDT


Hormel Foods is recalling two types of Planters nuts due to the potential for contamination with the germ listeria, the manufacturer announced.

The recall affects certain Planters honey roasted peanuts and Planters mixed nuts shipped to Publix supermarket warehouses in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina, and to Dollar Tree warehouses in South Carolina and Georgia.

While there have been no reports of illnesses, the products “are being recalled out of an abundance of caution” because they could be tainted with listeria, which can cause serious, sometimes fatal, infections in certain individuals, Hormel Foods said in an announcement last week.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that listeria is most likely to sicken pregnant women and newborns, adults age 65 or older, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Listeria infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths and preterm labor among pregnant women.

That location in Atlantic City became 45's Taj Mahal, which pretty much went bankrupt, was bailed out by Carl Icahn, and was eventually sold to Hard Rock for their hotel and casino.





I remember that store as a kid. I didn't realize what happened to it and what replaced it. All gone.

I’ve recently switched my cashews to Nut Harvest, which is owned by frito-lay. They’re remarkably high quality.
