. By
Los Angeles, CAIn light of the recent salmonella outbreak potentially linked to Trader Joe’s Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter, Sunland, the manufacturer of Trader Joe’s (TJ’s) peanut butter, has pulled dozens more peanut and almond products.

The company has issued a voluntary recall of 76 different products made in the same line as TJ’s. The additional two TJ’s brands that have been recalled are Trader Joe’s Valencia Peanut Butter with Roasted Flaxseeds, Crunchy and Salted and Trader Joe’s Almond Butter with Roasted Flaxseeds.

The Sunland recall includes peanut and almond products sold under popular brands including Archer’s, Earth Balance, Fresh & Easy, Heinen’s, Natural Value, Naturally More, Open Nature, Serious Food, Silly Prices, Sprout's and Sprouts Farmers Market. The recall applied to products with best-by dates between May 1, 2013 and September 24, 2013.

Not only has the number of products recalled increased, but unfortunately, so has the number of people who have fallen ill, with 30 people reported sick from the salmonella infection in 19 states. Those states include Arizona, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, New Jersey, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Virginia and Washington state.
