Mountain Man Nut & Fruit Co.® Announces Nationwide Voluntary Recall of Select Products Due to Possible Health Risk

Mountain Man Nut & Fruit Co. is voluntarily recalling select products containing Honey Roasted Peanuts and Granulated Peanuts.

The company initiated the voluntary recall in response to the expanded recall by Peanut Corporation of America (PCA). The FDA and other regulatory agencies have been investigating (PCA) due to a recent Salmonella outbreak associated with various peanut products. The FDA has advised that all products produced by PCA from its Blakely, Georgia facility are subject to recall, including Honey Roast Peanuts. Mountain Man has utilized Honey Roast Peanuts and Granulated Peanuts at different times since January 2007 from PCA as an ingredient in select trail mixes and chocolate items.

Mountain Man has not received any complaints of consumer illness associated with these products. This is strictly a precautionary recall to insure the safety of our customers.

“It has been an honor to offer quality trail mixes and chocolates to our valued customers for the past thirty years. Our number one priority is the satisfaction and safety of our consumers,” stated David Conner, President and CEO, Mountain Man Nut & Fruit Co. “Our actions are intended to remove all potentially harmful products and eliminate any associated risks.”

It is important to note that all other peanuts and peanut butter that Mountain Man utilizes in its products come from suppliers other than PCA and are not affected by this recall.

This recall also does not affect any Mountain Man products offered in partnership with Frontier Airlines. No Honey Roast Peanuts are used in any of the products offered through Frontier and Grizwald’s Gourmet Café®.
