FDA Warns Consumers Not to Eat Certain Jars of Peter Pan
Peanut Butter and Great Value Peanut Butter Product May
be Contaminated With Salmonella
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning consumers
not to eat certain jars of Peter Pan peanut butter or Great
Value peanut butter due to risk of contamination with
Salmonella Tennessee (a bacterium that causes foodborne
illness).
The affected jars of Peter Pan and Great Value peanut
butter have a product code located on the lid of the
jar that begins with the number “2111.”
Both the Peter Pan and Great Value brands are manufactured
in a single facility in Georgia by ConAgra.
Great Value peanut butter made by other manufacturers is
not affected.
The ‘2111’ is not stamped on the lid of GV, it is on the neck of the jar near the lid. I have one I bought last week from a WalMart store ... was wondering why I had stomach cramps and loose stool!
Is the ‘2111’ designation the manufacturing location?
