Salmonella Typhimurium Outbreak
Lawsuit Process Started against King Nut Companies and Peanut Corporation of America

Fred Pritzker has been interviewed by WCCO-TV and KSTP-TV regarding this outbreak and the resulting lawsuit. "Most importantly, this lawsuit is for food safety. This is very much about making products safer," attorney Fred Pritzker told WCCO.

Fatal Salmonella Typhimurium Infection
Virginia Salmonella Deaths
Over 450 people in 43 states have been infected with the same strain of Salmonella Typhimurium. At least 20 people in Virginia have been sickened, including two people who died.
State and federal health officials have genetically linked King Nut Peanut Butter with this outbreak. King Nut Peanut Butter was manufactured by Peanut Corporation of America, a supplier of peanut butter and peanut paste to numerous companies throughout the United States.
There have been a number of recalls associated with this Salmonella outbreak:
- King Nut Peanut Butter recall
- Peanut Corporation of America Recall
- Kellogg Recall: Austin Crackers and Keebler Peanut Butter Cookies
- Hy Vee Cookie Recall
- Perry's Ice Cream Recall
- Wal-Mart Peanut Butter Cookie Recall
- Lofthouse Peanut Butter Cookie Recall
- Food Lion Peanut Butter Cookie Recall
- South Bend Chocolate Company Candy Recall
- Little Debbie Cracker Recall
According to news reports, Virginia health officials are not confirming that the two Virginia Salmonella deaths are linked to this outbreak:
Both deaths happened in November. One was in the northwest part of the state; the other was in southwest Virginia, said Phil Giaramita, a spokesman for the Virginia Department of Health.
“We can’t confirm … that those deaths were caused by salmonella,” he said. “The only thing that we can say is they were salmonella patients who died.”
