Planters nuts recalled across America over potentially fatal contamination
Two Planters nuts products have been recalled after the maker warned they may have been contaminated and could cause fatal infections.
Minnesota-based Hormel Foods Sales LLC issued a recall for 4-ounce packages of Planters Honey Roasted Peanuts and 8.75-ounce cans of Planters Deluxe Lightly Salted Mixed Nuts across five states.
The at-risk products were distributed to Publix warehouses in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina as well as Dollar Tree warehouses in South Carolina and Georgia.
Hormel issued the recall after finding they could be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in vulnerable people including young children and elderly.
