Summerdale Peanut Co. in coastal Alabama
is recalling about 150 bags of Baldwin County Fried Peanuts
supplied by a Georgia firm at the center of a salmonella
investigation.
Company spokesman Joseph A. Parker said in a statement Wednesday
the peanuts, packaged in 10-ounce cellophane bags, were supplied by
the Peanut Corp. of America in Blakely, Ga., where products have
tested positive for salmonella.
The Baldwin County Fried Peanuts packages were distributed to
retailers in south Alabama between June 30 and Dec. 22, 2008.
The Summerdale firm has not received any consumer reports of
illness associated with its products and Alabama peanuts are not
affected, the statement said.
The recall was taken as a precaution because the Georgia firm
has recalled peanuts used in its 10-ounce fried peanuts product.
