The product was sold in stores in 29 U.S. states including Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. The snacks were also distributed in Washington D.C.

While no cases of salmonella have been reported at this time Trader Joe’s said that as a precaution all of the products have been removed from its store shelves.
