A Chicago-based company has issued a pine nut recall due to potential Salmonella contamination.
Superior Nut & Candy Co. and Hannaford recalled 4-ounce packages of pine nuts.
The pine nut packages are sold in store produce departments with a clearly packaged front and tan-colored label on the back. The back label lists "Pine Nuts" as the only ingredient and has the UPC number 72543920016 with a "best by" date of Nov. 17, 2015.
So far, Superior Nut & Candy has not received any illness complaints related to the recalled products, officials said.
As a result of the recall, these items have been removed from the shelves at Hannaford stores. Customers who have purchased this item are urged not to eat it and to return the item to a Hannaford store for a full refund.
Customers with questions can contact Superior Nut & Candy customer relations at 730-254-7900 Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Hannaford, based in Scarborough, Maine, has more than 180 stores in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont. Superior Nut & Candy is based in Chicago.
