The salmonella contamination that was traced to a Blakely plant has now impacted local boys scouts.According to officials with the Scouts, there has been a recall of a popcorn product sold by Scouts during recent fundraising drives. To date, there have been no reports of illnesses related to the product, but the measure is being taken as a precautionary step.
Trail's End Caramel Corn with Peanuts, with code dates of Jan. 19, 2008 through July 23, 2009, has been voluntarily recalled by the Weaver Popcorn Co.
Scout leaders have been sent e-mails about the recall and notices are posted in Scout offices. Scouts accepted orders for the popcorn in 2008 and the majority were delivered prior to the holidays.
To date, there have been more than 500 reported cases of salmonella across the country that authorities say are linked to the Georgia plant. Eight people have died, although officials cannot confirm that those deaths are a direct link to the plant.
