FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- April 17, 2009 -- Nature’s World LLC of Sumner, WA is recalling 88 – (25 lb.) cases of NW Delights Deluxe Mixed Nuts distributed to retail stores and sold in retail store bulk bins, because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. The NW Delights Deluxe Mixed Nuts were manufactured using pistachios recalled by Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc. because they may be contaminated with Salmonella. 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.
Product was distributed to Safeway, Rosuaers, and Thriftway retail stores located in WA, OR, MT and AK and sold in the bulk bin section of the store. The label on the bulk bins includes “NW Delights DELUXE MIXED NUTS”. No other codes including UPC or expiration dates are found. The cases were sold in the bulk bins by the retail stores between 1/21/2009 and 4/17/2009.
No known illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this product. The recall was initiated after it was determined that the pistachio product received was manufactured using pistachios from Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc. Nature’s World has informed FDA of its actions and is fully cooperating with the Agency.
Consumers who have purchased NW Delights Super Deluxe Mixed Nuts are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-253-891-0425, Monday - Friday 8:00 – 5:00 PDT.
