Cereal and snack maker Kellogg Co. asked stores around the country to remove a variety of peanut butter crackers sold under the Austin and Keebler brands after a recall by a supplier involved in a salmonella investigation.
Virginia-based Peanut Corp. of America is the supplier that recalled some of its peanut butter because of possible salmonella contamination. Battle Creek, Mich.-based Kellogg said in a statement that it had not received complaints or found a cause for concern.
A national salmonella outbreak has sickened more than 430 people in 43 states. And it may have contributed to five deaths in three states, health officials said.
