FDA Confirms Salmonella on Sunrise Commodities? Turkish Pine Nuts

November 4, 2011 -The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning consumers not to eat Turkish pine nuts distributed by Sunrise Commodities, based in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, after FDA tests confirmed the presence of Salmonella on the product.

FDA is collaborating with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and State public health and agriculture officials to investigate a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis infections. To date, the CDC reports there are at least 42 illnesses associated with the outbreak in Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

As part of FDA?s investigation, the Agency collected samples of Turkish pine nuts from a warehouse used by Sunrise Commodities. Additional testing is underway on FDA?s Salmonella positive samples of pine nuts to determine if the Salmonella detected matches the outbreak strain. FDA's State partners also collected samples of pine nuts distributed by Sunrise Commodities; some of those samples tested positive for Salmonella and matched the outbreak strain.

Sunrise Commodities has voluntarily recalled four lots of the implicated product, totaling more than 21,000 pounds of pine nuts. Each lot was packed in 22-pound boxes and included the markings:
Warehouse Lot 27963 with the identifying code ?PO#: 50165?
Warehouse Lot 29628 with the identifying code ?PO#: 50558?
Warehouse Lot 27713 with the identifying code ?PO#: 49595?
Warehouse Lot 27427 with the identifying code ?PO#: 50032?

Sunrise Commodities distributed the Turkish pine nuts in bulk to various food vendors in Florida, New Jersey, New York and Canada. Sunrise Commodities issued a recall notification to its customers dated November 3, 2011, alerting them of the test results and of the epidemiologic investigation and asking them to notify their subsequent customers of the recall.

Wegmans Food Markets, one of the companies that received Turkish pine nuts distributed by Sunrise Commodities, recalled the product from their stores on October 26, 2011. As the investigation continues, additional recalls may take place.
If consumers have Turkish pine nuts or products containing Turkish pine nuts and are not sure if the pine nuts are part of Sunrise Commodities? recall, then they should contact the store where the food item was purchased or throw the product away.

Re: Wegmans recalls pine nuts sold in 5 states

There is another thread on Turkish Pinenut sold through Badia Spices, Inc and Sunrise Commodities of Englewood Cliffs, N.J. It is important to get the word out because raw pine nuts store and are used in ethnic holiday cooking. We may see additional accounts of problems from this (salmonella) with the holidays fast approaching. - AC

Badia Spices is recalling the following lots of Pinenuts:
(UPC) 033844 00068 – 1 oz Pine nuts in small plastic bags Lot # 84666
