Silver Spring, Maryland–(ENEWSPF)–October 10, 2012. In response to the expanded Sunland, Inc. recall of all of its peanut butter products manufactured at its plant since March 31, 2010, Rich Products Corporation (“Rich’s”) on October 9, 2012 recalled its Jon Donaire® Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream Cake (Product Code: 62683) and TCBY® Peanut Buttery Fudge Deep Dish Frozen Yogurt Pie (Product Code: 02772).
Rich’s Quality Assurance Team has determined that the two products contain ingredients sourced from a supplier using Sunland, Inc. peanuts in the production of certain lots of the products and have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Specifically, the peanut butter ribbon provided by our supplier contains peanuts sourced from Sunland, Inc. The products are produced by Rich’s in its Santa Fe Springs, California plant.
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. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis. For more information on Salmonella, please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Web site at http://www.cdc.gov/ or call 800-CDC-INFO (800-232-4636).
