FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - August 19, 2014 - nSpired Natural Foods, Inc. is voluntarily recalling certain retail lots of Arrowhead Mills® Peanut Butters, MaraNatha® Almond Butters and Peanut Butters and specific private label nut butters (listed below) packaged in glass and plastic jars because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and those 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, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
The potential risk was brought to the Company’s attention by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration following routine testing. The Company has received reports of four illnesses that may be associated with these specific products.
nSpired Natural Foods, Inc. is committed to producing the highest quality products and our top priority is the safety of our consumers. For this reason we are initiating this voluntary recall of the products below as a precautionary measure.
Us too. We love almond butter schmeared across crispy warm toast. Just a veneer mind you. Yummy stuff.
We’ll pass on the salmonella though, thankssomuch.
“We love almond butter schmeared across crispy warm toast. Just a veneer mind you. Yummy stuff.”
Warning! Warning! Stay away from Hazelnut spread! You’ll be eating it with a soupspoon!
But...but...but... it’s NATURAL!
Mixing spoon.
We don’t buy it anymore. It’s too expensive and an open jar is an empty jar.
And it’s very fatmaking.
So is salmonella.
so is ebola for all of those tree hugging vegetarians that want organic and natural for their health.
There can be only one...Skippy Natural Super Chunk!
“...packaged in glass and plastic jars because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.”
Who writes this crap?
Whew! Crazy Richard’s is still safe...
Dates on those jars could be back as far as December. Nine months. Ever notice how on most of these recalls the product has already been consumed.
We have had ours for some time. We were halfway through a jar and had one unopened.
So....I guess our (non-natural) Jif is safe.
