Hormel Foods has voluntarily recalled two types of Planters nuts in five states over concerns about potential contamination from the bacteria listeria. 

The food manufacturer is recalling some 4-ounce packages of honey roasted peanuts and 8.75-ounce cans of deluxe lightly salted mixed nuts.

The recall only impacts products shipped to Publix supermarkets in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina and to Dollar Tree stores in Georgia and South Carolina.

The recalled honey roasted peanuts have a “best if used by date” of April 11, 2025, while the mixed nuts have a date of April 5, 2026.

All of the potentially contaminated items were produced at one of Hormel’s facilities in April, the company said.

There have been no reports of illnesses related to the products, Hormel said in a news release Friday.

Listeria infections can be serious and sometimes fatal in young children, elderly people and individuals with weakened immune systems. In pregnant women, they can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature births and potentially fatal infections in newborns, according to the Mayo Clinic.

The effects of listeria infections may be mitigated with prompt antibiotic treatment.

Other people can be infected by listeria but rarely become seriously ill. Symptoms may include fever, chills, muscle aches, nausea and diarrhea. 

Roughly 1,600 people are infected with listeria each year, with about 260 dying, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

Hormel is advising customers who purchased the recalled products to discard them or exchange them at the store.
