Little Debbie peanut butter snack recalled
Posted on: Monday, 19 January 2009, 08:45 CST
Two types of peanut butter sandwich crackers have been recalled because the products have the potential to be contaminated with salmonella, U.S. officials say.
The two sandwich crackers are Little Debbie Peanut Butter Toasty sandwich crackers and Little Debbie Peanut Butter Cheese sandwich crackers, made by McKee Foods Corp. of Collegedale, Tenn., the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Monday.
No other Little Debbie products are involved in this recall, the agency said. The sandwich cracker products were manufactured for McKee Foods by Kellogg Co., which on Jan. 14 announced a precautionary hold on several of its peanut butter sandwich crackers while FDA and other authorities investigated Peanut Corp. of America, one of Kellogg's peanut paste suppliers for these crackers.
McKee Foods followed that action with this voluntary withdrawal of the two Little Debbie peanut butter sandwich crackers. PCA has expanded its earlier recall to include peanut paste and peanut butter, prompting Kellogg to announce a recall of certain cookie and cracker products, health officials said.
