Sold at Trader Joes-Federal regulators shut peanut butter plant linked to salmonella outbreak.

Federal regulators shut peanut butter plant linked to salmonella outbreak. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration suspended Sunland Inc.’s registration, marking the first time the agency took such action with authority provided by the 2011 Food Safety and Modernization Act. Inspectors found widespread salmonella contamination at the company’s New Mexico processing plant after 41 people in 20 states were sickened by peanut butter made there and sold at the Trader Joe’s grocery chain. The suspension bars Sunland from producing or distributing any food until the FDA deems the company’s manufacturing practices safe and returns its registration. The company had planned to reopen its plant today and hoped to resume sales by Dec. 31. The Associated Press, ABC News
