General Mills Recalls "Nut Clusters" on Salmonella Fears

By Marler Clark

Another day, another product pulled over Salmonella fears.   Minnpost.com is reporting that General Mills has recalled "some" of its Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters products due to concerns over potentially contaminated pecans.  The recall includes products with the following "best if used by dates": 07MAR2010, 08MAR2010, 09MAR2010, 10MAR2010, 11MAR2010.

General Mills says in its press release: "This action is being taken as a precaution because pecans received from a supplier and used in the product may be tainted with salmonella."

Sure would be nice to know which supplier, and whether or not this supplier has any other customers beyond General Mills.  Are there more products and recalls to follow?  Is there a regulatory agency involved?
