Texas Star Nut and Food is voluntarily recalling Nature’s Eats, Natural Macadamia Nuts 6oz and Southern Grove, Simply Raw Trail Mix 8oz over potential health risk.
The recalled products include 6oz and 8oz Nature's Eats Natural Macadamia Nuts and Southern Grove Simply Raw Trail Mix respectively.
The above products have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, 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, 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.
No illnesses have been reported in relation to this product to date.
These products were distributed to Retail Locations in Texas, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee. The products were sold between 6/20/2015 and 9/9/2015. This notification is intended to inform consumers that may still have any of the above listed products in their possession.
The recall was as the result of a routine, random sampling program conducted by a FDA contracted lab which revealed that the Nature's Eats Natural Macadamia Nut product contained Salmonella.
The company has ceased the distribution of this specific lot of macadamia nuts from the supplier.
