Reason for recall

Sunland, Inc. is conducting a voluntary limited recall of its Almond, Peanut, and Cashew Butter products and Tahini and Roasted Blanched Peanut Products, manufactured between May 1, 2010 and September 24, 2012, because these products may 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.
