Last month, the New Mexico-based company Sunland Inc. recalled multiple brands of peanut and almond butter products, after a string of salmonella illnesses were linked to one of the brands it manufactures. Now, they are expanding the recall to include cashew butters and tahini, as well as blanched and roasted peanut products.
According to Associated Press and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there have been 30 salmonella illnesses in 19 states, all of which can be traced back to a Sunland brand of peanut butter sold at Trader Joe’s (Trader Joe’s Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter).
Sunland’s products are sold at some of the U.S.’s largest grocery stores, under a variety of different brand names. The recall now includes 101 different products, including all products that were manufactured on the same equipment as the tainted peanut butter products.
