Anaheim Peppers Recalled by Georgia Company

By PritzkerLaw

A Georgia company has recalled a lot of its Anaheim peppers after the New York State Department of Agriculture found Salmonella in a sample.

Anaheim peppers are a very mild chile, six to 10 inches long, that are normally used in cooking. The recalled peppers were shipped in mid June to retailers in New York, Massachusetts and Ohio by Herring Produce of Lake Park, Georgia.

The company said no illnesses have been reported in connection with the recall. The peppers under recall were shipped in half-bushel boxes with production lot number 0801206 located on a red sticker on the box.

 The most common source of Salmonella food poisoning is the feces of animals or infected persons. Most cases of Salmonella in healthy adults do not require medical treatment, but young children and the elderly can suffer serious illness from infection, even death.

Symptoms of Salmonella include diarrhea, fever and stomach pain. If you or someone you love has become seriously ill from Salmonella, contact Pritzker Olsen Attorneys at 1-888-377-8900 (Toll Free). Our law firm is one of the most experienced food poisoning firms in the country.
