Tennessee Food Poisoning/Food-borne Illness Update 2
A new set of defective products in Tennessee has created a health scare in Tennessee and throughout the nation.
Several products containing pistachios distributed by Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc., have been found to be contaminated with the Salmonella virus. The following products have been recalled due to possible contamination:
• Kar Nut Products Company’s Kar’s and Second Nature pistachio products
• Planter’s and Back to Nature’s pistachio products
• Frito-Lay branded in-shell salted pistachios
• Kroger’s “Private Selection Shelled Pistachios”
The recall for food products containing nuts distributed by the Peanut Corporation of America has also expanded due to the threat of Salmonella. The list of potentially contaminated products now includes:
• Wright Popcorn’s 2 1/4oz. “Caramelcorn Bars” containing dry roasted unsalted split peanuts
• Produce Patch’s “Cascade Trail Mix”
The above listed products are potentially contaminated with Salmonella. If you or a loved one has experienced fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and/or abdominal pain after ingesting one of these products, you may have contracted Salmonellosis. If so, after you contact a physician immediately, you should call a skilled product liability attorney in Tennessee. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis.
Cheese manufactured by Torres Hillsdale Country Cheese, LLC, has manufactured Asadero and Oaxaca cheeses that may contain the Listeria virus. The symptoms for Listeria infection were listed in the March 30 entry.
If you or a loved one has ingested any one of the products listed above and fallen ill, you may be able to receive compensation for medical bills, time off from work, and other related damages.
