Why Were the Pecans Recalled?

The pecans were recalled because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Navarro Pecan Holdings, LLC started the recall on its own initiative. The FDA’s recall definitions say recalls are actions taken by a firm to remove a product from the market. The FDA’s Salmonella page says Salmonella are bacteria that can cause gastrointestinal illness and fever called salmonellosis [3].

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

The FDA record does not state any reported incidents, injuries, illnesses or deaths for this recall. A recall alone does not show that the pecans made anyone ill. The FDA’s Salmonella page says children younger than five, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to have severe salmonellosis infections. The page says more severe cases may include a high fever, aches, headaches, lethargy, a rash, or blood in the urine or stool. In some cases they may become fatal. The page also says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated approximately 450 persons in the United States die each year from acute salmonellosis. That national figure does not describe this recall.

What Should Consumers Do?

If you have Navarro pecan pieces or halves, take these steps:

1. Compare any Navarro pecan pieces or halves you hold with the product names and code numbers in the FDA record.
2. Contact Navarro Pecan with questions. Navarro Pecan’s website lists the phone number 903.872.5641, the toll-free number 800.333.9507 and the email sales@navarropecan.com.
3. Wash and sanitize surfaces used to serve or store potentially contaminated products. Then wash your hands with warm water and soap.
4. Watch for symptoms. Most people with salmonellosis develop diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps. Contact a healthcare provider if you suspect symptoms that resemble Salmonella infection.
5. Report a complaint or adverse event (illness) to the FDA. The FDA’s Report a Problem page lists the Safety Reporting Portal for human foods [4].

Legal Options

A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation. Any legal question depends on the facts of your own situation. Anyone who became ill after eating a recalled food can ask a lawyer to review the facts of what happened.

Filing Deadlines

Filing deadlines exist for any legal claim that follows a food recall or a foodborne illness, and they come from state law. The deadline that applies to you depends on where you live and on the dates when the illness and its diagnosis happened. Missing that date can end a claim, even one with strong facts, so anyone who became ill should speak with a lawyer promptly.
