West Chester, Penn.-based The Hain Celestial Group Inc. is recalling some 983,700 pounds of frozen entrees in commerce because they contain peanut products recalled in connection with a nationwide outbreak of salmonellosis, USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service said Wednesday.

The following products are subject to recall:
  • 10-ounce cartons of Ethnic Gourmet Chicken Pad Thai, which contains peanut sauce and peanuts as garnish. UPD code # 18687-70054, lot codes "WC7" and "WC8"
  • 12-ounce bowls of Trader Ming's Spicy Kung Pao Chicken, which contains crushed and whole peanuts as garnish. UPC code 0379526, lot codes "WC7M" and "WC8"
The shipping containers bear the establishment number "P-9744" printed on the side of the boxes.

The problem was discovered in the wake of a widespread recall involving all peanut products that Peanut Corporation of America's Blakely, Ga., facility has produced since 2007. These peanut products may be linked to a nationwide outbreak of salmonellosis, officials said.

FSIS said it has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of the frozen chicken products, which were identified as recalled in a Jan. 31 news release by the Food and Drug Administration due to possible contaminated peanut products produced by Peanut Corporation of America.

These chicken products were distributed to retail establishments throughout the United States. FSIS said that based on their shelf life, these products could still be in consumers freezers. The agency urges consumers to look for and return or discard and do not eat these products if they find them.

FDA, FSIS and state public health departments continue to investigate the multi-state outbreak of salmonellosis.
