Parkers Farm, Inc. Recalls Several Products

Parker Farms, Inc. has recalled several of its products which are sold under various brand names. The recall was announced on January 8, 2010, after sampling by the states of Wisconsin and Minnesota detected Listeria monocytogenes in some of its finished product. Listeriosis is a potentially serious and even fatal infection. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the recall.

The recall includes several varieties of peanut butter, cold pack cheeses, salsa, dips, and spreads. They were sold under the brand names:

  • Parkers Farm
  • Parkers
  • Happy Farms
  • Kroger
  • Central Markets
  • Dutch Farms
The recalled foods were sold in 15 different retail chains across the U.S. Stores where the recalled products were sold include, but are not limited to:
  • Sam’s Club
  • Costco
  • Jewel
  • Target
  • Whole Foods
What You Should Do

If you have any of the recalled products in your possession, do not eat them. Listeriosis does not usually pose a serious threat to healthy adults with normal immune systems, but it can be very dangerous or fatal to the elderly, children, and people with weakened immune systems. Additionally, pregnant women are at an elevated risk for becoming infected if they eat food contaminated with listeria and it can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, or newborn death.

You can return the recalled product to the place from which you purchased it for a full refund.

If you believe that you have become infected with listeriosis from eating recalled Parkers Farm Products or any other product that was discovered to be contaminated, please contact the experienced defective products attorneys at Schlichter, Bogard & Denton, serving clients nationwide.
