“SALMONELLA, ALMONDS - WORLDWIDE RECALL ************************************** A ProMED-mail post ProMED-mail is a program of the International Society for Infectious Diseases [1] Date: 22 May 2004 From: ProMED-mail Source: FDA News, P04-59, 21 May 2004 [edited] FDA issues alert on additional recalled stocks of Paramount Farms raw almonds ---------------------------------------------- The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising distributors, wholesalers, and consumers that a recall of raw almonds due to reports of _Salmonella enteriditis_ that was announced by Paramount Farms, Lost Hills, CA, on 18 May 2004 has expanded. Before eating any raw almonds having a "best before" date of 21 Aug 2004 or later, consumers are advised to check with the store where they purchased the product to see whether the almonds came from Paramount Farms. FDA has learned that Paramount Farms distributed the recalled almonds in bulk or packaged nationwide to brokers, distributors and grocery store chains, which in turn sold the almonds to consumers in various package sizes and with various brand names. The almonds were also distributed to Mexico, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, France, England, and Italy. The almonds have the potential to be contaminated with _Salmonella enteriditis_, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy people 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. Consumers who are experiencing symptoms that could be salmonellosis should consult their health care providers or their local health department. Paramount Farms announced a limited recall on 18 May 2004 of whole natural raw almonds sold under the Kirkland Signature, Trader Joe's and Sunkist brands. FDA, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and state health and agriculture departments are aware of about 18 reports of _Salmonella enteriditis_ infection possibly related to the consumption of the almonds now under recall. FDA continues to work with CDC and state and local agencies to investigate the source of this outbreak. Individuals who have purchased the recalled raw almonds should not consume them but instead return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. The almonds may be sold under other unknown brand names. Media Inquiries: 301-827-6242 Consumer Inquiries: 888-INFO-FDA” 7:25:41 AM 5/24/04 “Why did I buy these damn cashews?
