FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- San Francisco -- March 27, 2009 --- Wright Popcorn, San Francisco California, today announced a voluntary nationwide recall of Wright’s 2 1/4oz. Caramelcorn Bars containing dry roasted unsalted split peanuts. We are also recalling Peanut Corp of America’s Small Chop Peanuts 30# Bulk Boxes. This is a precautionary measure resulting from the Peanut Corporation of America’s expanded recall for all products that have the potential to 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 serious illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e. infected aneurysms), endocarditic and arthritis.
