FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE --OMAHA, NEBRASKA- (March 6, 2009) – Marathon Ventures, Inc., today announced an expanded recall of items that contain redskin peanuts and dry roasted peanuts. This is a precautionary measure resulting from the PCA (Peanut Corporation of America) expanded recall for all products manufactured in their Plainview, TX facility as it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. This voluntary recall goes back to January 2007 which in some cases exceeds the shelf life of the products being recalled.
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.
The following recalled products produced prior to December 31, 2007 were sold through grocery, foodservice, internet, and other retail outlets located in WA, NE, WI, IA, VA, MO, KS, and AZ.
