Chattanooga Bakery Inc. Tuesday recalled its MoonPie Peanut Butter Crunch products with “Best By” dates of 02/26/13, 03/25/13, and 04/29/13 because its peanut butter supply might be contaminated with a rare strain of Salmonella.
The Peanut Butter Crunch products are made with peanut butter from New Mexico-based Sunland Inc., which is involved in a recall of its own brands of peanut and almond butter and Trader Joe’s Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter, which was produced by Sunland, Inc.
Energy Nuggets, Peanut Butter Power Chews and Treasure Trove Mix in 10- and 20-pound cases are being recalled by SunrRidge Farms of Royal Oaks, CA because they may contain contaminated peanut butter as an ingredient.
Portales, NM-based Sunland Inc. supplied peanut butter contained in the recalled bulk items.
After Trader Joe’s recalled peanut butter on Sept. 22 supplied by Sunland because health officials linked it to a multistate outbreak of a rare Salmonella strain, Sunland followed with a recall of a long list of its own peanut butter brands.
Now companies like SunRidge that used Sunland peanut or almond butters manufactured between May 1, 2012 and Sept. 24, 2012 are doing their own recalls.
