Kar Nut Products Company of Ferndale, MI, is recalling various Kar Nut branded packages of mixes containing raw almonds because they have the potential to be contaminated with salmonella, according to a press release.
The recalled product was manufactured with almonds received from Paramount Farms and were distributed nationwide in vending machines and retail stores. This recall is in follow-up to a voluntary recall announced in mid-May by Paramount Farms of California of whole and diced raw almonds based on over 20 possible cases of illnesses associated with the almonds.
Production of the affected product has been suspended while the FDA and Paramount Farms continue their investigation as to the source of the problem.
