STOCKTON, Calif., Aug. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Snyder's-Lance, Inc. (Nasdaq-GS: LNCE) is
initiating a voluntary recall of Diamond of California® Macadamia Nuts,
distributed in retail stores nationwide, due to possible
Salmonella contamination.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and
sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly
people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons
infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea
(which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare
circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the
organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe
illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms),
endocarditis and arthritis.
There have been no reported illnesses to date.
This voluntary recall is the result of testing by a
FDA-contracted laboratory which revealed that a 4oz package of
Diamond of California®
Chopped Macadamia Nuts contained Salmonella.
This voluntary recall covers only the following products:
4oz Diamond of California® Chopped Macadamia
Nuts
2.25oz Diamond of California® Macadamia Halves and
Pieces
The voluntary recall is limited to multiple production codes of
the two products listed below. To locate the production code on the
package, consumers should look on the front of the package. No
other production codes, sizes or varieties of Diamond of
California® products
are affected by this recall.
