Salmonella is an organism, which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weak 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.
Barcelona Nut Co. distributes these products nationally.
This recall is in follow up to a voluntary recall announced last week by the producer of the almonds, Paramount Farms of California, based on over 20 possible cases of illnesses associated with the almonds. The cases were reported in California, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Utah, New Mexico, Arkansas, Tennessee, Massachusetts and Michigan. We are working with the FDA to assure that all potentially contaminated almonds are removed from the marketplace and that all consumers are notified of the recall.
The raw almonds should not be consumed but rather returned to the point of purchase for a full refund. For further information, call Barcelona Nut Co. at 1-800-296-6887 between 8AM and 4PM EDT.
