A product recall has been established for Trader Joe’s Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter which has been linked to salmonella cases in 18 states.
The company’s voluntary recall now includes 76 varieties of almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter, tahini and toasted blanched peanut products as a precaution, according to a press release. Only the peanut butter product sold under the Trader Joe’s label, however, has been connected to salmonella.
All cases of salmonella occurred between June 11 and Sept. 2.
The recall is the largest for peanut butter products since the massive 2008 episode involving Peanut Corp. of America the sickened about 700 people and reportedly killed nine over many several months.
That recall reached into snack foods, including several of the best-selling brands of cookies and crackers.
