All of the PCA’s affected peanut products were made at the company’s Blakely, Ga. facility, which is no longer in operation. The FDA has been working with the company and purchasers to identify affected products and facilitate their removal from the market. Affected products are those that were produced between January 1, 2007 to the present.

“More than 400 products at this time” have been recalled, said FDA Dr. Stephen Sundlof. Concerned consumers can check the FDA’s new peanut products recall webpage to check and see if they have purchased any contaminated products.
