Dollar Tree Announces Recall of Popular Snack Items in Texas

You can find them in big cities such as Houston, Texas, Dallas, Texas and San Antonio, Texas, but they are also at home in the smaller towns in Texas. So places like College Station, Huntsville, and Denton Texas have them too. Of course, we are speaking of the discount chain, Dollar Tree. Texas has 714 of them, so chances are you're fairly close to a location right now.

And while the "dollar store" landscape hasn't been exactly friendly lately. With Family Dollar announcing the closing of some 1,000 stores nationwide. Dollar General has generated their share of headlines too. The news on Dollar General concerns all 1,947 Texas locations of that brand and if you're a shopper at DG, you'll want to know what's changing because it will eventually affect every location in the state.

Meanwhile, the recall bug has hit Dollar Tree. The store was made aware of a recall announced by Planter's Nuts over possible listeria concerns. The recall announcement was made by Planter's parent company Hormel. Who knew the same folks that made SPAM also packed Planter's peanuts? Well, now you do.

The products in question were shipped to Publix Supermarkets in the southeastern United States as well as Dollar Tree stores in the south. The products in question are Planters Deluxe Lightly Salted Mixed Nuts and Planters Honey Roasted Peanuts.

The recalled products have the following label information:

Deluxe Lightly Salted Mixed Nuts in 8.75-ounce cans with a best-by date of “05APR26” and Honey Roasted Nuts in 4-ounce bags with a best-by date of “04 11 25.

If you find you have one of these products you may return it to the store for a refund, or you can just throw them away. The concern with the products is Listeria. The disease is most dangerous to small children, the elderly, pregnant women, or those with compromised immune systems.

So far, no illness or injury has been reported with these products but if you do have questions you may contact Hormel via their website. Or, you may contact Planters by calling 800-523-4635.
