The Food and Drug Administration is asking consumers to temporarily stop eating all foods containing peanut butter - this, as investigators work to find the source of a deadly salmonella outbreak linked to peanut butter and peanut butter paste. So far, more than 470 people in 43 states have gotten sick. At least 90 people have been hospitalized and six have died. Investigators are focusing on bulk tubs of peanut butter produced at the Peanut Corporation of America's Georgia facility. Its products were distributed to nursing homes and to food companies.

Well, the jar I am using now is ok, because it is at least half gone!

[americanophile]

...I swear before God, as I logged on and read this, I had a spoonful of peanut butter in my mouth, haha...

If I don't post anymore, I'll guess you'll know, hahaha

[dynachrome]

Skippy will need a bailout now.

[CindyDawg]

I thought it was posted earlier that the jars were ok but to avoid the crackers.

Thanks, but instead of tossing it, I am going to give our stock of peanut butter to the neighbor guy... he’s a lib. ;>)

They’re always looking for a handout, they think they should get what I’ve earned, so, it’s a win, win as far as I can see. ;>)

Cut the serpents head off and just quit eating.

Trust me, the concern of personal poisoning will dissipate soon.

I guess the mice in the area are DOOOMED ... oh wait ... that would be from the powered rat poison IN the peanut butter.

Something tells me that CNN and the New York Times will find that Bush's cousin's son's best-friend's father's neighbor's uncle's Fed-Ex driver's daughter dated the nephew of the president of the company 25 years ago.

What? Jimmy Carter isn’t going to like this.

[TruthConquers]

Is there a list of the brands of peanut butter?

I bought mine awhile ago, trying to stock up. Using up a jar of Laura Scudders dated for Jan 09 now.

I know last week my family had some weird virus, or so we thought. We were exhausted and almost dazed like in a drug or something. It was the oddest thing!

I wonder if that wasn’t this. I know it doesn’t matter where you live, but I’m not too far from this plant.

[LimaLimaMikeFoxtrot]

Dang. Gonna cramp my Reese’s habit.

[neocon1984]

Sorry, can’t live without peanut butter.

Ever give peanut butter to a dog? They love it, and it’s so much fun to watch them try to lick and swallow it all.
