Florida Grocery StoresĀ Go Nuts Over Listeria Recall
Look out! Florida grocery stores may have gone nuts for Listeria! If you’ve been munching on some PLANTERS nuts from Publix or Dollar Tree lately, then you might want to put down those pistachios. According to FOX35, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration hit the alarm button on May 3, 2024, saying there’s a chance these snacks might contain some unwelcome bacteria.
Hormel cooked up some of their famous “PLANTERS” Honey Roasted Peanuts, (My Favorite) and some of their Deluxe Lightly Salted Mixed Nuts at one of their spots. Then, they shipped them off to some Florida grocery stores like Publix, and some other stores in Georgia, Alabama, and North Carolina. Also, some unlucky Dollar Tree stores in South Carolina and Georgia got some of these not-so-fun nuts.
Turns out, these nuts could be playing host to something real nasty called Listeria monocytogenes. Yum. It’s the kind of bacteria that can really ruin your day, especially if you’re little, old, or have a weak immune system.
Florida Grocery StoresĀ Products:
Now, if you’ve got any of these suspected snacks from Florida grocery stores, here’s the what you need to watch out forā¦ We’re talking about 4-ounce packs of PLANTERS Honey Roasted Peanuts and 8.75-ounce cans of PLANTERS Deluxe Lightly Salted Mixed Nuts. Keep an eye out for UPCs 2900002097 and 2900001621 on the side of those cans, and flip them over to check the “Best if Used By Date.” If you spot “04 11 25” or “05APR26,” you’re holding a suspect.
But hey, Hormel says these are the only troublemakers in the bunch. And don’t worry, nobody’s reported feeling under the weather from munching any of these yet. They’ve already given a heads-up to all the Florida grocery stores caught up in this mess.
Now, if you got these snacks, don’t eat them! Toss them out or take them back to the store for a refund. Hormel isn’t messing around with food safety, and neither should you. They’re currently investigating where this nastiness came from, so for no, be carful with deez nuts.
