Summary

Burkmann Feeds LLC is recalling approximately 349 bags of Wild Birds Unlimited (WBU) brand Raw Fancy Virginia Peanuts in the Shell due to positive test results for Salmonella. The recall affects 25 lb. mesh bags identified as Lot #2015, which were distributed across multiple states including Kentucky, Tennessee, and Florida. This contamination was discovered during a state inspection, and consumers who have purchased this product should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Salmonella is a pathogen that can cause serious illness in both humans who handle the product and wild birds that consume it. In humans, symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever, while birds may also become ill or spread the bacteria to other wildlife and feeders.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your supply of Wild Birds Unlimited (WBU) brand Raw Fancy Virginia Peanuts in the Shell to see if you have the 25 lb. mesh bags.
  2. Locate the lot number on the packaging and check specifically for Lot #2015.
  3. Verify the label information, which should read: 'Fancy Virginia Peanuts, Severn Peanut Co., Severn, NC USA' and note if it was distributed by Western Trade Group of Carlsborg, WA.
  4. If your product matches Lot #2015, stop using it immediately and do not feed it to wild birds.
  5. Return the affected product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Burkmann Feeds LLC for further instructions regarding the disposal or return of the peanuts.
  6. For additional questions or to report an issue, contact the FDA at 1-888-463-6332.
