Planters nuts recalled after discovery of potentially fatal contamination

Minnesota-based Hormel Foods Sales, LLC issued a recall for two Planters products produced at one of its facilities and distributed to five states in the southeast portion of the U.S., because they could cause fatal infections.

Hormel produced the contaminated Honey Roasted Peanuts and Deluxe Lightly Salted Mixed Nuts for Planters at one of its facilities, before distributing them to Publix warehouses in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina, as well as Dollar Tree warehouses in South Carolina and Georgia.
