CDC Warns Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Recalled Eggs
The FDA said 98 people in 17 states got sick from recalled eggs, while testing also found salmonella in pistachio butter and peppers.
- The FDA announced a recall of 6.7-ounce Bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter sold exclusively at Walmart after the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services detected Salmonella in three jars.
- Distribution of the recalled butter spanned 19 states, including Mississippi, and consumers must verify specific UPC, lot codes, and expiration dates before returning jars for refunds.
- Concurrent with the nut butter recall, the FDA managed a July 22 notice for nearly 1.6 million eggs, with at least 98 people in 17 states reporting illnesses linked to Salmonella.
- Separately, the FDA linked jalapeños from Sinaloa, Mexico, to 345 cases and 36 hospitalizations, though the agency stated it "does not consider there to be a current ongoing risk" from these suppliers.
- Accumulating food safety notices demonstrate potential gaps in industry protocols or supply chain oversight, prompting consumers to inspect grocery items for compliance with safety notices to avoid health pitfalls.
