We have two jars here with the code 2111 (bought in a Central Texas Walmart) - one each of "Great Value" and "Peter Pan Honey Roasted". It caused much trauma.
I am devastated, because I had a eighth-week miscarriage of our much-wanted baby just three days ago, after some stomache upset and low-grade fever. I called the doctor crying this morning, all upset because I was just sure I had caused myself to miscarry our poor baby by eating the peanut butter...
Please pray for us. I am just so wracked by guilt right now about what I ate, or didn't eat or did or didn't do. This has been so difficult for us, but God is with us still even in the midst of our heartache.
My doctors called back to try and reassure me that I would have been really, really sick if that were the case, and that I hadn't done anything wrong. But I don't know if I'll ever want peanut butter again.
Geeze, had to run downstairs and check the brand that we buy. Not Peter Pan and never a store brand.
If you still have not figured out where the code is, then you probably do not have the stuff in question, or the lids got switched, which happens all to frequently with kids.
The brand is Great Value(Walmart blue label) or Peter Pan. The product codes are all on the top of the lids, and are long but the first four digits are 2111. This indicates the location of MFGR.
If it is not there, and the lids did not get switched, I doubt you have the stuff.
I don't think so. We've had good dinners with them since then (LOL) and no one got sick. I do think it was the milk. There were rumors and articles around that time about salmonella in milk so that may have been it because everyone else was fine. What a memory!
Well, we've almost finished the one Great Value jar so I'm not worried about that one. The unopened was neither of those brands so I guess we're safe (whew).
Yeah, they'll come into your attic and poop all over (smile).
l'm thinking of getting Smart Balance peanut butter. I'm not supposed to eat a lot of it because I'm on dialysis and it has phosphorus in it. O well, gotta die of something.
hmmmmmmmmm ... I just checked my jar of Great Value Peanut Butter. It has the 2111 code, but we have not gotten sick, and the jar has been 90% eaten. Would the salmonella not disperse evenly through the batch? Weird.
Gotcha. Each to his own! :-)

Condolences on your loss from someone who suffers from recurrent miscarriages. :*(
I know how easy it is to blame yourself for something like this, but in my experience, there's a reason God didn't let your pregnancy go forward--since you didn't get very sick, I imagine the peanut butter really didn't cause the loss, but probably something else, sadly, probably chromosomal in nature. :*(
I'm so sorry you are going through this fear on top of your loss. I've said prayers for your healing, and for God to bless you with a living healthy child soon. Take care.
I'm sure you'll be able to recover the price of the PP, but good luck in getting them to spring for your gas.
I guess there are worse ways to shuffle off this mortal coil than ODing on peanut butter. I'll lay off the Peter Pan for a while and then go back. IMHO it's the best-tasting peanut butter on the market.
I don't have it. I feel left out.

Need to send them the lid for a refund.
Thanks for the ping. We have 3 jars with those numbers.
I bought six jars of Peter Pan "whipped" peanut butter online awhile back because I couldn't find the "whipped" kind in my area. Sadly, they have those numbers. But I've already eaten 2 of the 6 jars so it is not a total loss.
There was no number on our lid. Hmmmm.
The jar we have at work is clearly stamped right on top.
