AUSTIN, Minn. (NewsNation) — Hormel Foods Sales, LLC is pulling two Planters products from shelves after potentially being contaminated with listeria monocytogenes at one of its facilities last month.
Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in children or the elderly, weakening the immune system, according to a news release from the Food and Drug Administration.
The recall includes two products: 4-ounce packages of “Honey Roasted Peanuts” and 8.75-ounce cans of “Deluxe Lightly Salted Mixed Nuts.”
