Posted — Updated
The 4-ounce packages of pines nuts are sold in store produce departments with a clear package front and tan-colored label on the back. The back label lists Pine Nuts as the only ingredient and has the UPC number 72543920016.
The "best by" dates listed on the recalled packages are Oct. 22, 2015, Oct. 27, 2015, Nov. 6, 2015, Nov. 9, 2015, Nov. 17, 2015, Nov. 26, 2015, Dec. 3, 2015, Dec. 6, 2015, Dec. 13, 2015, Dec. 16, 2015, Dec. 17, 2015, Dec. 19, 2015, Dec. 20, 2015, Dec. 24, 2015, Dec. 25, 2015 and Dec. 27, 2015.
The potential for contamination was noted after routine testing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration revealed the presence of salmonella in a package of pine nuts. Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems.
To date, Superior Nut & Candy Co., Inc. has not received any illness complaints related to the recalled products.
