Jenny Craig, Inc. one of the nation’s leading authorities on weight management, today announced that out of an abundance of caution it will be honoring a recall order issued by The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) and further supported by the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). As such, Jenny Craig is voluntarily recalling all products manufactured with ingredients from PCA’s Plainview Texas facility since that plant opened in March 2005.

This represents an expansion of recall activities already associated with PCA’s Blakely Georgia facility that was initiated in January. This recent announcement has impacted another manufacturer contracted by Jenny Craig for the production of certain peanut containing products, which now extends Jenny Craig’s recall of product to include a product sold in Canada.

Abbott Nutrition today announced that it is initiating a precautionary, voluntary recall of ZonePerfect(R) Chocolate Peanut Butter bars, ZonePerfect(R) Peanut Toffee bars and NutriPals(TM) Peanut Butter Chocolate bars in response to the widening recall involving peanut butter and peanut paste ingredients manufactured by Peanut Corporation of America (PCA). PCA was one of the peanut ingredient suppliers to the company.

The specified Abbott Nutrition items, sold in the U.S. and internationally (Mexico, New Zealand and Singapore) in various packages and quantities, have not been linked to a nationwide salmonella outbreak and there have been no reported cases of the salmonella illness associated with ZonePerfect or NutriPals products.
