John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. (the “Registrant”) submits the following information:
ITEM 8.01. Other Events.
On March 19, 2010, the Registrant issued a press release regarding its voluntary recall of certain bulk and packaged snack mix and cashew items containing black pepper as a precautionary measure because the product may be contaminated with salmonella. The Registrant’s recall was a follow-up to the voluntary recall of black pepper announced by Mincing Overseas Spice Company, a supplier to the Registrant through a distributor, on March 5, 2010. The Registrant believes that the retail value of the affected products that have been shipped to customers during the recall period and that are currently in the market place is approximately $0.6 million. The potential financial impact of other aspects and consequences of the recall, including the cost of retrieval, return and disposal of the Registrant’s products impacted by the recall, is unknown.
This voluntary recall is in line with United States Food & Drug Administration recommendations, and the Registrant has removed all of the Registrant’s products impacted by the recall within its existing inventory, which inventory is valued at approximately $0.1 million.
The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
