Recently 30 salmonella cases have been reported in 19 states, with four hospitalized and no deaths. Half of these cases occurred among children under 7. An investigation by the Center for Disease Control suspect that these salmonella poisoning resulted from peanut butter sold at Trader Joe's stores. Of 14 people interviewed, 12 reported that they ate Trader Joe's Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter before they got sick.
Trader Joe's issued a statement saying that they are acting "out of an abundance of caution" and that the specific peanut butter product should not be eaten.
Sunland Inc., the supplier of Trader Joe's Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter, has issued a recall on 76 of its peanut butters and almond butters produced between May 1 and Sept. 24.
