What happened

Sunland, Inc. recalled certain peanut products and peanut butters made between May 2010 and September 2012 because they may contain Salmonella, a bacteria that can cause foodborne illness. The recall was extended in October 2012 to include raw and roasted peanuts.

Who is at risk

Anyone who consumed these products could be at risk, though children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems are more likely to have severe illness from Salmonella.
