A supermarket chain with nearly a dozen stores in upstate New York has issued a pine nut recall due to potential Salmonella contamination.
Hannaford Supermarkets announced the recall of the 4-ounce pine nut packages, packaged by Chicago-based Superior Nuts & Candy, Thursday.
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.
The items have since been removed from the shelves. Customers who have purchased any of the recalled nets are urged not to eat them and to return them 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.
