WASHINGTON (AP) -
A New Mexico-based company is recalling 76 types of peanut butter and almond
butter after one of its products was linked to a salmonella outbreak at Trader
Joe's groceries.
Sunland Inc. recalled the products under multiple
brand names after the Food and Drug Administration and the federal Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention linked 29 salmonella illnesses in 18 states to
Trader Joe's Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter. Sunland manufactures and
packages the Trader Joe's product.
A Sunland spokeswoman said the company recalled the other
peanut and almond butters because they were manufactured with the same
equipment as the Trader Joe's product. None of the other products have been
linked to illnesses.
Trader Joe's recalled the Creamy Salted Valencia
Peanut Butter from its stores Saturday.
