Central Market pulls peanut products as a precaution
March 9, 2009 · Updated 12:11 PM
POULSBO — A handful of peanut products have been pulled from the shelves of Central Market.
Michael Latham, director of Food Safety for Central Market, said the peanut products were pulled from the shelves as a precautionary, proactive measure. The peanut products in question were purchased from the Peanut Corp. of America, according to the Food and Drug Administration, and may pose a salmonella risk.
The recall is part of a national recall that dates back to January, Latham said.
"No one, in any of our stores, has called in with any concerns or complaints that they got sick from any of the recalled products," he said. "This is a precautionary, voluntary thing to keep the public safe."
According the Associated Press, the products included roasted and raw peanuts, as well as bulk trail mix and self-grind peanut butter.
A list of recalled products is available on the FDA's Web site.
A fact sheet regarding the recall can be downloaded at the Central Market Web site.
Central Market has stores in Poulsbo and on Bainbridge Island.
