Summary

Approximately 302,424 pounds of wildlife feed products, including Peanut Meal, Whole and Halves Peanuts, and Peanut Pieces and Hearts, have been recalled. These products were manufactured using ingredients from the Peanut Corporation of America that have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. The affected feed was distributed across six states and sold in 50 lb bags as well as large, variable-weight supersack totes. If you have this product, you should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact the manufacturer.

Risk

Salmonella can cause serious illness in wildlife that consume the feed and poses a significant risk to humans who handle the contaminated product. People who touch the feed can become ill with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever, especially if they do not wash their hands thoroughly after contact.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the product: Look for 50 lb bags or variable-weight 'supersack' totes labeled as Peanut Meal, Whole and Halves Peanuts, or Peanut Pieces and Hearts intended for wildlife feed.
  2. Check the source: Confirm if the product was purchased in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, or Wisconsin, as these are the primary distribution areas for this recall.
  3. Stop use immediately: Do not use the affected feed for wildlife and avoid handling the product with bare hands.
  4. Return for refund: Return any remaining product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Cereal By Products at their Mount Prospect, Illinois office for further instructions.
  5. Practice good hygiene: If you have handled this product, thoroughly wash your hands and any surfaces, containers, or tools that came into contact with the feed using soap and hot water.
