The FDA reported that Stutz Packing Company (Indio, CA) recalled its 1-pound packages of Shelled Walnuts because they could potentially be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The Walnuts were distributed to food bank warehouses in Texas and Arizona, and they might have been distributed to other distribution centers that can go to consumers, smaller food banks, school lunch programs, shelters, or prison food systems. The recalled product is limited to 1-pound Shelled Walnuts, UPC Code 7 15001 00908 1. The product comes in a 1-pound, clear plastic packaging with a red outlined white box printed in the center of the bag. There have been no reports of illnesses related to this recall. The recall resulted from routine sampling, which revealed that the finished products contained the bacteria. Stutz has ceased producing and distributing this product as the FDA and Stutz continue their investigation. No other sizes, varieties, or other packaging of Shelled Walnuts are included in this recall. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/stutz-packing-co-recalls-walnut-product-because-possible-health-risk
