Pro Nutech INC. recalled Medium Chopped Peanut Granules in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Jan 28, 2009.

The recall was triggered by possible Salmonella contamination: "The recalling firm manufactured and distributed peanut products which contained peanuts and/or peanut butter which they received from there bulk peanut supplier, Peanut Corporation of America (PCA). Peanuts and peanut products produced by PCA have been implicated in a recent outbreak of salmonellosis and these product may be contaminated with Salmonella Typhimurium." Salmonella is one of the most common causes of U.S. foodborne illness, with symptoms that typically appear within six hours to six days of exposure.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "The recalled peanut products were distributed to two (2) customers: Country Oven Bakery, Bowling Green, KY and Smith's Bakery, Layton, UT." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Winchester, KY. The recall covers 269,400 lbs of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jul 18, 2012), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
