Trader Joes Bars/Cookies

MONROVIA, Calif. -- (January 22, 2009) - Trader Joe’s today issued a voluntary recall for three private label products:
  • Peanut Butter Chewy Coated & Drizzled Granola Bars, 7.4-ounce (UPC 88713).
  • Nutty Chocolate Chewy Coated & Drizzled Granola Bars 7.4-ounce (UPC 88721)

The products contain peanut butter that was manufactured by Peanut Corporation of America (PCA), which is the focus of an ongoing Salmonella investigation.
As a precaution, in advance of this recall, Trader Joe’s removed all three items from store shelves. Both Chewy Coated & Drizzled Granola Bars were supplied by Lovin Oven, LLC and the Sutter’s Formula Cookies were produced by WendySue & Tobey's Bakery.
The affected Sutter’s Formula Cookies were sold only in Trader Joe’s stores located in Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada.
The Peanut Butter Chewy Coated & Drizzled Granola Bars and Nutty Chocolate Chewy Coated & Drizzled Granola Bars were sold at Trader Joe’s stores nationwide.

Trader Joes Alfalfa Sprout Recall Due to Salmonella Risk

J.H. Caldwell and Sons Inc. of Maywood, Calif., has recalled Always Fresh and Alfa One alfalfa sprouts due to possible contamination with Salmonella. The recalled sprouts were distributed to wholesale distributors and retail grocery stores in California, including Beach Market, KV Mart and Superior Warehouse, and to Trader Joes grocery stores in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.

The J.H. Caldwell and Sons recalled alfalfa sprouts are labeled Always Fresh and Alfa One. The products are packaged in 4 ounce and 5 ounce containers and in plastic bags. The recalled product codes are 202182, 202192, 202202, 202212, 202222, 202232, 202242, 202252, 202262 and 202272. The code is printed on the side of the containers and on the back of the plastic bag.

Sprouts have been the source of a number of Salmonella outbreaks. Conditions required for sprout growing are ideal for rapid bacterial growth. Also, sprouts usually are eaten raw, with no additional treatment such as cooking which eliminates bacteria that can cause disease.

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. Consumers who have eaten this product and are experiencing the above symptoms should consult their health care provider. Consumers who are diagnosed with Salmonella infections (salmonellosis) should contact a Salmonella lawyer.
