The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department today (November 8) advised members of the public not to consume certain batches of peanut butter manufactured by Sunland Inc in the US which are suspected to contain Salmonella.
The US authorities said that the manufacturer concerned was recalling the affected products in the country. The CFS learnt from the trade that two affected products had been imported to Hong Kong. Details of the products are as follows:
Product name: Sunland Organic Valencia Peanut Butter Creamy
Best before date: May 23, 2013

Product name: Sunland Organic Valencia Peanut Butter Crunchy
Best before date: July 20, 2013
Bar code: 4868731810

“The CFS after investigations learnt that the importer had recalled the affected products and retail outlets concerned had stopped sale of the affected products. The importer has also agreed to surrender all remaining stocks for disposal. Checks conducted at other local outlets have so far found no affected products available for sale,” a CFS spokesman said.
