365 Organic Everday Value Sesame Tahini, sold by Whole Foods Markets around the country, has been recalled due to possible contamination with Salmonella. The product recall also includes MarthNartha brand sesame tahini. San Diego County officials issued a warning this week about the products.

However, county officials said that people should check to make sure they do not eat any of three types if already bought: MaraNatha Sesame Tahini in 16-ounce jars with a "use by" date of 10/02/07 or earlier; MaraNatha Sesame Tahini in 15 or 32 pounds with a use-by date of 11/14/07 or earlier; and 365 Organic Everyday Value Sesame Tahini in 16-ounce jars with a "best buy" date of 10/02/07 or earlier.

Salmonella exposure can cause a serious illness that may even lead to death. If you purchased any of the recalled products discontinue using them and return them to the store that you purchased them at for a full refund.
