Peanut butter contamination? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. CRIVAS (1157)11 months ago

Okay so I don't have a lot of time to watch the news but I would like to think that I am up to date on most subjects. Now this one definately through me for a curve ball. I just heard on the hews this morning that there has been a Salmonella contamination of peanut butter. I just can't believe it, is nothing safe anymore? How does this happen?
Are the areas where these food are prepared not clean enough?
What are your thoughts?
Do you think that there is any way to avoid this?
What do you suggest the food producers do to prevent future contamination?

I have seen where there is a problem with contaminated peanut butter products in the states. Apparently several people have died from this. It doesn't seem to be a problem with actual peanut butter, but with products that contain some form of peanuts in them. Furthermore, it doesn't seem to be a problem with foods in the grocery stores, but seems to be a problem with peanut products in foods sold to commercial places, such as convalescent homes.

we actually had a problem with that a few years ago in my old town in the schools
a bunch of kids got sick
I am not really sure how peanut butter production works
but i think if they find a way to filter out more of those live spiders that could certainly help a little

CRIVAS,

There's this resounding adage that always rattles to this day "Nothing is perfect!"

Well, we just have to believe it and be careful with things around us. We just have to be more wary, less gullible and most of all just don't take things for granted. Never be too trusting and always be on the look out and stay abreast with the current affairs.

On the other hand, the authorities should step up the pace with their screenings and spot checks on the finished products and manufacturers at work. Every quarter to be ever observant of their morality and responsibility above their wallets!

BTW you may want to provide the link for this news that you have discovered as a helpful reference for all the members here. I am sure that it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

P.S.

I saw this "More Peanut Butter Products Recalled" and I thought you might want to have a look at it as well. At least somebody is doing their job there. Kudos!thumbup
