Reason for recall
Baltimore District Office was notified by the Dallas District Office that they had received results of positive salmonella from some macadamia nuts distributed by a repacker here in Texas. The repacker contacted their supplier, Red River Foods which is HQ in Virginia. The supplier wishes to initiate a voluntary recall of the product.
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.
