FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- February 15, 2009 -- Superior Nut and Candy is conducting a voluntary recall on its distribution of French Burnt Peanuts, Boston Baked Beans, and French Burnt Peanuts containing products which were manufactured using peanuts from Peanut Corporation of America due to the possibility of contamination with Salmonella typhimurium.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infections with salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and produce more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e, infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
The recalled French Burnt Peanuts, Boston Baked Beans and French Burnt Peanuts containing products were packed under the following brands:
