Palmer Candy has issued a recall on several “white coated confectionary items” sold in 17 states due to a salmonella risk.
According to an announcement from the FDA, the Iowa-based company was notified by its liquid coating supplier of a potential for salmonella contamination.
The recalled confectionary items were distributed nationwide in Walmart, HyVee, Target, Dollar General, and to distributors in Alabama, California, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
The products came in a variety of retail packaging like bags, pouches and tubs. A full list of the affected products is available on the FDA website. The confections include products such as Caramel Swirl Pretzels and strawberry-coated covered pretzels.
Production of the product has been suspended while FDA and the company continue their investigation as to the source of the problem.
