Reason for recall

A voluntary limited recall has been initiated by Jer's Chocolates of some of its Gourmet Peanut Butter Bars and Gourmet Jer's Squares produced from July 9, 2012 to September 24, 2012 in response to Sunland, Inc.'s voluntary recall of nut butter products because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Sunland, Inc. supplies the peanut butter used in the production of Jer's Choc

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.
