Planters Cocktail Peanuts Recall Issued Due To Water Exposure

About 3,000 cases of Planters Cocktail Peanuts are being recalled because they might have been contaminated by unsafe water.

The Planters Cocktail Peanuts recall was announced by the manufacturer Kraft Foods Group, Inc. and the FDA on April 6, indicating that the peanuts may have been exposed to water that was not intended for use on food.

There have been no illnesses or complaints reported in connection with the recalled Planters peanuts, but the exposure may have occurred during the production process at a Kraft facility in Suffolk, Virginia.

    I ate Planters peanuts all my life. Then in the spring of 2023 I opened and start eating a can of Planters peanuts. I immediately went into an allergic shock. Could not breath, got sick to my stomach, broke out in a sweat and became faint. Ended up going to urgent care.
