Planters branded nut products have been recalled amid concerns about microbial infection that can be fatal for children and cause miscarriages among pregnant women, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

On May 3, Hormel Foods Sales LLC initiated a voluntary recall of two Planters products manufactured at one of its facilities last month: 4 oz. packages of Planters Honey Roasted Peanuts and 8.75 oz. cans of Planters Deluxe Lightly Salted Mixed Nuts, according to a recall notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
