Reason for recall
The product is being recalled because it was manufactured using peanuts that were recalled by Peanut Corporation of America because of their potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
Salmonella causes fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramps, usually 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Most people recover without treatment, but severe cases can need hospital care.
