La Jolla-Based Kashi Food Corporation joined an expanded peanut butter product recall Feb. 2, initiating voluntary nationwide recalls on the company\u2019s peanut-containing products, including its TLC Chewy brand granola bars and cookies. “Kashi issued the [voluntary] recall because peanuts in products are part of the expanded peanut recall,” Kashi spokesperson Adaire Putnam said. Although no illnesses have been reported in connection to Kashi products, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an expanded recall for peanut-containing products originating at a plant in Blakely, Ga. \u2013 the source of the Jan. 1 salmonella outbreak. The recall was originally issued because FDA and the Centers for Disease Control officials found salmonella inside bulk peanut butter sold at a Blakely peanut processing plant used by many companies, according to the FDA. The Peanut Corporation of America expanded a previous recall to include all peanut ingredients produced in its Blakely facility since Jan. 1, 2007. So Kashi, La Jolla issued the Feb. 2 release, asking customers to destroy targeted Kashi products sold in retail and big box stores. The FDA and Kashi said consumers can call the Consumer Response Center, (877) 701-5868, for a refund, but anyone with health concerns should call their doctor, the FDA reported. “Salmonella causes infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems,” the FDA reported, adding that symptoms include fever, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting and abdominal pain.
