EVERETT, Mass. (AP) - An Everett produce company has issued a voluntary recall for several varieties of J.J. Kelly Snacks due to fears the peanuts could be contaminated with salmonella.
Shapiro Produce issued the recall on Friday for the snacks, which were sold in New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
The recall was related to a series of other recalls from suppliers who used products from a Peanut Corporation of America plant in Blakely, Ga. The plant has been at the center of a national salmonella outbreak.
Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, but no illnesses related to J.J. Kelly Snacks have been reported.
The J.J. Kelly Snacks packages were sold in varieties including Mountain Mix, Oriental Mix, Yogurt Trail Mix, Raisin Nut Mix and Banana Sesame Crunch.
