Date of Recall
2009-02-13Recall Details
February 13, 2009 -- Cougar Mountain Baking Company of Seattle, WA is issuing a voluntary recall on its Peanut Butter, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk, and Ballpark Cookies and Cookie Dough products, because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
The following
recalled products were sold through grocery and retail stores in California,
Oregon, New York, and Washington, and through internet mailorder nationwide. In
addition, cookie dough products were distributed to fundraising organizations
in Washington. Please double-check names, weights, UPC codes, and best-before
