Voluntary Recall Issued for ShopRite Peanut Butter on Toasty Crackers and ShopRite Peanut Butter and Cheese Cracker Snacks

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- January 24, 2009 -- In cooperation with the FDA, Kellogg Company is today issuing this advisory regarding a voluntary recall of two varieties of ShopRite brand peanut butter sandwich crackers because they contain peanut paste produced by Peanut Corporation of America and the products have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. The two recalled sandwich crackers are:

ShopRite Peanut Butter on Toasty Crackers, all sizes;
ShopRite Peanut Butter and Cheese Cracker Snacks, all sizes.
These two sandwich cracker products were manufactured for ShopRite by Kellogg Company. ShopRite has stores in Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Last week, ShopRite removed these products from its store shelves after Kellogg issued a precautionary hold. In addition, any consumer who purchased the recalled product and used their Shoprite Savers Card has received notification via ShopRite’s automated system which calls and notifies shoppers impacted by a recall. While ShopRite’s calls reached nearly all of the purchasers of the impacted products, this advisory is being issued as an additional precaution for ShopRite customers.
