Recall of Peanut-Containing Products:
Salmonella Typhimurium
Updated:
February 4, 2009
Update on FDA's Investigation
January 30, 2009
: A combination
of epidemiological analysis and laboratory
testing by state officials in Minnesota and Connecticut, the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) have enabled FDA to confirm that the sources
of the outbreak of illnesses caused by
Salmonella Typhimurium
are peanut butter and peanut paste produced by the Peanut Corporation
of America (PCA) at its Blakely, Georgia processing plant.
Peanut
butter is sold by PCA in bulk containers ranging in size from five (5)
to 1,700 pounds. The peanut paste is sold in sizes ranging from
35-pound containers to product sold by the tanker container. Neither
of these products is sold directly to consumers.
However, through
its investigation, FDA has determined that PCA distributed potentially
contaminated product to more than 100 consignee firms, for use as an
ingredient in hundreds of different products, such as cookies,
crackers, cereal, candy and ice cream.
FDA initiated an inspection of PCA’s Blakely plant on January 9 shortly
after learning that this firm might be linked to the ongoing Salmonella
outbreak. FDA finished its inspection on January 27. A list of
problems observed by FDA investigators during their inspection is
available at this link: http://www.fda.gov/ora/frequent/default.htm.
This list is not a final agency determination regarding compliance.
The deficiencies observed indicate that the plant was not compliant
with Current Good Manufacturing Practices required by the FDA. These
deficiencies are related to cleaning programs and procedures as well as
failure to implement steps to mitigate Salmonella contamination in the
facility.
On January 28, PCA issued an expanded voluntary recall of all peanuts
and peanut products processed in its Blakely, Georgia facility since
January 1, 2007. The expanded recall includes all peanuts (dry
and oil roasted), granulated peanuts, peanut meal, peanut butter
and peanut paste. All of the recalled peanuts and peanut products
were made only at the company’s Blakely, Georgia facility.
On January 30, FDA confirmed that FDA’s Office of Criminal
Investigations is involved in a Justice Department investigation
of PCA.
FDA
has been working with the company and purchasers of PCA's peanut butter
and peanut paste to identify affected products and facilitate their
removal from the market. FDA and state officials have visited in
excess of 1,000 firms who purchased PCA products. Now, the same type
of work is continuing and includes the additional products in the
expanded recall.
Companies nationwide that received
product made by PCA have issued voluntary recalls of their products.
As FDA gathers additional information about these products, the list of
recalled products is expected to expand. FDA has created a searchable
database for these products, which can be found at http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/peanutbutterrecall/index.cfm. The list is updated frequently.
Product
recalls include some pet food products that contain peanut paste that
was made by PCA. While the risk of animals contracting salmonellosis is
minimal, there is risk to humans from handling these products. It is
important for people to wash their hands--and make sure children wash
their hands--before and, especially, after feeding treats to pets.
Further information for consumers is located in the Frequently Asked Questions section located on this web site. The pet food products are also included in the searchable data base of recalled products.
Major national brands of jarred peanut butter found in grocery stores are not affected by the PCA recall.
FDA and CDC recommendations for consumers include:
- Consumers
are urged to check FDA’s web site to determine which products have been
recalled and will be recalled in the coming days.
Any product that
is on the recall list should be disposed of in a safe manner.
Consumers are also urged to wash their hands after handling potentially
contaminated products.
- If
consumers are unsure whether a peanut-containing product is potentially
contaminated, they should avoid consuming it or feeding it to their pet
until they obtain more information regarding the product.
- Persons who think they may have become ill from eating peanut products are advised to consult their health care providers.
For Retailers
- Stop selling recalled products.
For Directors of Institutions and Food Service Establishments
- Ensure that they are not serving recalled products.
For Manufacturers
- Inform
consumers about whether their products could contain peanuts or peanut
products from the Peanut Corporation of America (PCA). If a
manufacturer knows its products do not contain peanuts or peanut
products from PCA, it may wish to provide this information to
consumers. For specific guidance: Guidance for Industry: Product Recalls, Including Removals and Corrections
The
FDA will closely monitor these events by continuing to work with the
firms on the details of their actions, conducting follow-up audits and
inspections, monitoring the progress of the firms’ actions, working
with state and local regulatory authorities, and notifying our foreign
regulatory counterparts of products that have now been confirmed as
having been distributed internationally.
Ongoing Investigation
FDA
has collaborated with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) and public health officials in various states to investigate the
multi-state outbreak of human infections due to
Salmonella
Typhimurium. An epidemiological investigation by the Minnesota
Department of Health isolated and tested subsamples from an open
five-pound container of King Nut peanut butter obtained at a nursing
home where three patients were sickened by the outbreak strain of
Salmonella Typhimurium. The Minnesota Health officials found the peanut butter contained the same strain of
Salmonella Typhimurium associated with the illnesses linked to the outbreak.
Because
it is always possible that the open container was contaminated by
someone or something else in the environment, the FDA and the states
began testing unopened containers of the same brand of peanut butter.
King Nut distributes peanut butter manufactured by the PCA to
institutional facilities, food service industries, and private label
food companies in several states.
On January 19,
2009, testing by the Connecticut Department of Health of an unopened
container of King Nut peanut butter showed that it too contained the
same strain of
Salmonella Typhimurium associated with illnesses linked to the outbreak. The fact that the
Salmonella
Typhimurium was confirmed in an unopened container of peanut butter
indicates that peanut butter originating from the processing plant was
contaminated.
FDA has initiated inspections at the direct
consignees of PCA and King Nut and continues to follow the distribution
points for products.
The FDA has no evidence to suggest that the
Salmonella Typhimurium
contamination originated with any manufacturing facility other than
PCA. The PCA facility in Blakely, Georgia is not operating at this time
and the company has recalled all peanuts and peanut products produced
there from January 1, 2007, to the present.
The FDA
and food manufacturers are working to identify products that may be
affected, and to track the ingredient supply chain of those products to
facilitate their removal from the marketplace.
For
the latest information on the outbreak and the epidemiological
investigation, including number of illnesses and a list of states
reporting illnesses, go to the CDC web page at http://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/typhimurium/ .
