United States
Company name: NOW Health Group, Inc.Brand name: Now Real Food
Product recalled: Raw Macadamia Nuts
Reason of the recall: Potential Salmonella contamination
FDA Recall date: June 12, 2020
Recall details: NOW Health Group, Inc. (NOW), of Bloomingdale, Illinois, is voluntarily recalling a specific lot of its NOW Real Food® Raw Macadamia Nuts - because this lot has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis.
This lot was distributed online and in retail stores nationwide. Recalled products include:
– NOW Real Food® Raw Macadamia Nuts, Unsalted (8 oz. pouch). Product code: 7119. Lot number: 3141055. Best by: 01/2021.
No other NOW Real Food® products are affected or are involved in this recall. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this product.
NOW became aware of the potential contamination after routine sampling in a later lot of finished product (which contained the same lot of raw material as used in the recalled lot) found the bacteria. This later finished product lot was not released and remains in a quarantined state.
NOW has provided information on this recall to all its retailers who purchased this product and has encouraged retailers to make every effort to contact their customers to facilitate the return of affected products.
Consumers who have purchased the recalled Raw Macadamia Nuts should stop using the product immediately and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Receipt not required for refund. Consumers with questions regarding this recall can contact NOW’s Customer Service Department by phone at 888-NOW-FOOD (888-669-3663) Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central time.
