Michael Nagle/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Trader Joe’s is recalling raw walnuts that may be contaminated with Salmonella, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Tuesday.
The walnuts were distributed nationwide, the announcement notes. The nuts are Trader Joe’s brand and include Raw California Walnut Pieces and Halves.
The FDA has posted a list of the affected products on its website, including UPC codes, lot numbers and “Best By” dates.
According to the FDA, the potential contamination was noted after normal testing done by an outside company revealed the presence of Salmonella in some packages of Trader Joe’s walnuts. The company is removing all lots of the product from store shelves and will suspend sales of the products.
The announcement notes that Trader Joe’s has not received any complaints of illnesses related to the recalled products.
