Because the recent salmonella outbreak has been identified as coming from the Peanut Corporation of America, many companies are recalling their products that have peanut paste or peanut butter in them.

As many of you know, Minnesota health officials found salmonella bacteria in a five pound tub under the label of King Nut, manufactured by the Peanut Corporation of America several weeks ago. It was confirmed soon after that the contamination came from the Peanut Corporation of America’s Georgia facility. See our past post: Salmonella Contamination Confirmed at Peanut Corporation of America Georgia Facility.

Salmonella poisoning can become a dangerous sickness. If you have eaten recalled peanut butter products, be on the look out for these symptoms of salmonella: Diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps.

If you or someone close to you has salmonella poisoning, you may want to contact the attorneys at Childers & Schlueter, LLP to see how they can help protect your legal rights.
