Recently recalled Parkers Farm products include cheese, dips and peanut butter. The products were distributed nationwide and involve a long list of recognizable food markets.

The recall was issued by the Coon Rapids, Minnesota company because of possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infection in young children, frail or elderly people and people with weakened immune systems.

The recalled products were sold under the Parkers Farm or Parkers label and other labels. All carry specific “sell by” dates a half inch from the top of the container. The products include peanut butter, cheese, dips, spreads and salsa.

A complete list of the recalled products can be found on the FDA website.

The FDA and Parkers Farm, Inc. are continuing their investigation as to what caused the problem. No illnesses have been reported to date but consumers are urged to return to the place of purchase for a full refund. The company can be contacted with questions at 800 869 6685.

The recalled Parkers Farm products were sold in the following retail stores: Hy-Vee, CUB, Rainbow, Byerlys, Lunds, Target, Whole Foods, Jewel, Dominicks, Marsh, Price Chopper, Shop Rite, Nash Finch, Sam’s Club, Costco, and Safeway.
