WASHINGTON- A New Mexico-based company is recalling 76 types of peanut butter and almond butter, after one of its products was linked to a salmonella outbreak at Trader Joe's grocery stores.

The products, which are sold under multiple brand names, were recalled after the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control linked 29 salmonella illnesses in 18 states to Trader Joe's Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter.

A spokeswoman said the company recalled the other peanut and almond butters, because they were manufactured with the same equipment as the Trader Joe's product.

None of the other products have been linked to illnesses.
