Bucks County Distributors is conducting a voluntary recall on its distribution of CALIFORNIA DYNO TRAIL MIX that contains raw whole almonds due to the possibility of contamination with Salmonella Enteritidis. The recalled trail mix are packed in 4 ounce clear plastic containers, 1 gallon Ziploc bags, and 12 pound clear plastic counter dispenser.
Salmonella is an organism, which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infection ( i.e., infected aneurysms) endocarditis, and arthritis.
Bucks County Distributors distributes the product to Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.
This recall is in follow-up to a voluntary recall announced in mid-May by Paramount Farms of California of whole and diced raw almonds based on over 20 possible cases of illnesses associated with almonds. The cases were reported in California, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Utah, New Mexico, Arkansas, Tennessee, Massachusetts and Michigan . FDA is working to assure that all potentially contaminated almonds are removed from the marketplace and that consumers are notified of the recall.
The trail mix that contains these almonds should not be consumed but instead returned to our facility for a full refund. For further information, call Buck County Distributors at 215-638-2687 during normal business hours of Monday through Friday.
