Kellogg said Monday that the Food and Drug Administration confirmed that salmonella was found in one package of peanut butter crackers that the company recalled last week.

The salmonella was found in a package of Austin Quality Foods Toasty Crackers with Peanut Butter. This product was recalled in one of a series of industry recalls relating to Peanut Corp. of America's Jan. 16 recall of peanut-based ingredients The recall was for 21 lots of peanut butter made since July 1 at its plant in Blakely, Ga.

The recall was issued after an open container of peanut butter in a long-term care facility in Minnesota was found to contain a strain of salmonella.

A salmonella outbreak has killed at least six people and sickened more than 470 others in 43 states.

"We apologize to our consumers and customers, and we can't emphasize enough our disappointment and deep regret about this situation," said David Mackay, president and CEO of Kellogg Co., in Monday's news release. "The food industry upholds certain operating standards and we are proud that we exceed these standards in our facilities. Events of the last week suggest there was a breach in this supplier's process that is unacceptable to Kellogg, our customers and our consumers."

Kellogg said consumers who have purchased the recalled products should destroy them. Consumers with questions or who would like a refund may contact the Kellogg Consumer Response Center at 877-869-5633.
