Salmonella outbreak in peanut butter. Does anyone know which brands recalled?

Thanks for the info. I have checked it out. Here is an excerpt from one of the links on that page. Excerpt: "All containers, varieties and types of Peter Pan peanut butter, all products containing Peter Pan brand peanut butter, and all jars of Great Value brand peanut butter bearing a product code that begins "2111" are potentially contaminated. Potentially contaminated products include 3/4 ounce and 1.1 ounce single serving packs of Peter Pan brand peanut butter. All of these products contain peanut butter that was manufactured in ConAgra's Sylvester, Georgia plant. Retailers and institutions possessing the products described should not serve or sell them. Any consumer possessing any of these products should discard them." I checked the cupboard. We don't have any Peter Pan in stock at the house this week. But, we have used it recently, in the past few months. Here's the additional link if anyone wants to check out more info on the FAQ page. http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/pnutbuqa.html#size Thanks for the link!

It's really scary you know. What's more scary is the FDA was aware of the contamination early on and didn't do anything. (See article link above). I'm trying to switch to all organic but we still get WIC so I have to get the brands that WIC will pay for, and as you said old reliable JIF. Namaste-Anora Thanks for the extra links by the way.

Old reliable JIF! My spouse does most of the grocery shopping and always buys the chunky JIF variety. I prefer creamy peanut butter.

This is the first that I'm hearing about it. I've been so out of the loop on national events. I'm just glad that they did the recalls otherwise we'd still be buying tainted peanut butter. The government has to mandate those recalls and not rely on the news outlets to spread the word about the tainted food products. This reminds me so much of the tainted tomatoes last yeart. That was another scary situation, cause we ate tomatoes all the time. So many people got sick. Not a good thing at all. I watched some of the hearings on CSpan about this situation, with the heads of Kellogs and such. They all seemed to want to do their part to keep foods safe. But, apparently, someone in those companies knew about the contamination before the products went to market and just dropped the ball and didn't tell anyone. Guess they figured the situation would resolve itself. It did. But, in a very bad way.
