So far they are saying the kinds sold in regular stores are not included. But they don't sound sure. Most of it seems to center on that one plant in Georgia that sold to institutions. Probably to save money, cheaper stuff and in bulk. Guess all the snack people buy the cheaper, bulk stuff. Sometimes it's the same quality, but I always bought Skippy until I found out how good the low fat Jif tastes.

I'm already using my newest large jar of Jif, so if it were contaminated, I'd have probably been sick already. So I'm not throwing it out.

Our regular supermarket even pulled their peanut butter cookies and other baked goods in addition to the crackers and things recalled. But if it's that bad, they should play it safe. Poor old people in nursing homes seemed to take the brunt of it.

Fox News was saying this morning that jars of peanut butter is still OK..........but any BAKED goods containing peanut butter should be tossed. I've never tasted any good store-bought peanut butter cookies, so I personally don't have any. I will go without my PB & Baloney sandwiches until this issue has passed......

This article here mentions what to look out for and Brands that are being pulled...........

I bought 2 jars of peanuts just last week. Already finished one off, and it didn’t kill me.

I hope the other jar was from the same batch.
