As all other Boy Scout Moms know, this popcorn is probably NOT around anymore but I thought it would be good for a public service announcment. I think we sold in my family about 40 of these 9.5 ounce Caramel Corn Popcorn. I hope everyone that ate it is ok, currently there is no one in the Greater Greenville SC Area that has gotten sick from the peanut butter problems.

Weaver Popcorn Company Issues a Nationwide Precautionary Voluntary Recall of 9.5 oz Trail's End Caramel Corn with Peanuts
As a result of the expansion of Peanut Corporation of America's (PCA) Salmonella related recall to include all peanut ingredient products produced in their Blakely, Georgia facility since January 1, 2007, Weaver Popcorn Company has issued a precautionary voluntary recall for the following product: · 9.5 oz. Trail's End® Caramel Corn with Peanuts, with code date markings of "102861 109 JAN 19 08" through "102861 297 JUL 23 09".
No other Trail's End or Weaver Popcorn Company products are part of this recall. "Although Weaver Popcorn has received no complaints or reports of any illness related to this product, we are taking this precautionary action out of an abundance of caution and consistent with our 80-year unwavering commitment to consumer safety and to providing the highest-quality products," said Mike Weaver, Weaver Popcorn Company President and CEO.
Since the vast majority of this product has not been sold for a number of months, it is assumed that what has been sold has been consumed. Consumers who have purchased this recalled product are urged to destroy it. Consumers with an unopened, sealed popcorn foil bag, with the above listed code dates, can arrange for a refund by calling 1-800-782-4255 (Monday through Friday from 8:00am - 3:00pm EST) or by sending an email to ccp@trails-end.com.
