Hormel Announces Nut Recall – Two Planters Varieties Must Be Tossed Immediately

Two varieties of Planters brand nuts are being recalled because they could be contaminated with Listeria bacteria.

Hormel Foods announced the recall on Friday, according to an announcement from Hormel posted on the website of the Food and Drug Administration.

The recalled covers 4 oz. packages of Planters Honey Roasted Peanuts and 8.75 oz. cans of Planters Deluxe Lightly Salted Mixed Nuts.

The roasted peanuts have a universal product code of “2900002097.” The lightly salted mixed nuts have a code of “2900001621.”

This recall covered two retailers and outlets in five states, the company said in its release on its website.

The products were sent to Publix warehouses in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina and to Dollar Tree distribution warehouses in South Carolina and Georgia.

The company said no other products are covered by the recall.

Do you have any nuts that fall under this recall?

The company said that no illnesses associated with the nuts have been reported and that retailers have been alerted, according to the FDA notice.

Anyone who bought either product can throw it out or take it where it was purchased for an exchange or a refund.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that Listeria is the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness in the United States.

Listeria can also cause an intestinal illness that the CDC calls “usually mild.” However, the illness can spread.

According to the CDC, about 1,600 people become sick with listeria each year, and about 260 people die from it.

The CDC said when the illness spreads beyond the intestines, pregnant women, people with weakened immune systems, and individuals over 65 could be at the greatest health risk.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

 

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

 

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans. 

 

We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.

 

Thank you for reading,

Josh Manning
