John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. (the “Registrant”) submits the following information:
ITEM 8.01. Other Events.
On April 8, 2009, the Registrant issued a press release regarding its voluntary recall of bulk packaged and small packaged items of Fisher brand raw shelled pistachios and certain packaged Archer Farms raw mixed nuts which contain raw shelled pistachios. The recall was made 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 raw shelled pistachios announced by Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc. (“Setton”), a supplier to the Registrant, on April 7, 2009. The Registrant believes that the retail value of the raw shelled pistachios and raw mixed nuts, which have been shipped to customers during the recall period and are currently in the market place, is approximately $0.8 million. Previously, on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 2, 2009, the Registrant announced that it had recalled inshell pistachios purchased from Setton with an estimated retail value of approximately $2.5 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.
The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
