The recall of peanut butter and other nut products linked to an outbreak of salmonella from a New Mexico food company has now been expanded to include raw and roasted peanuts.

Stick a fork in them, Sunland company is FINISHED.
...as I sit here watching the game, FReepin’ and eating peanuts! Oookay! Thanks for the heads up!
Looks like the peanut butter products likey to be in our house are safe - Skippy, Jif and Lance Peanut Butter Crackers are not on the recall list. Thanks to my wife being a couponer, and peanut butter having a long shelf life, it's rare for us to have store brand, but I'll need to pass this on to my kids who don't all have time to coupon.
The wife and I eat Trader Joe’s non-organic versions of their creamy and crunchy peanut butters. Keeping our fingers crossed they don’t end up on the list.
When I want peanuts, I go to the Asian market, and buy redskin peanuts. You boil them in salted water, and pick at them with your chopsticks. Wonderful treat, boiled peanuts. I’m thinking that boiling them in salt water kills any bacteria,,,, I hope!
Was that exempt from the original Trader Joe recall?
We use Smart Balance Peanut Butter, which I don’t see on any of these lists.
It’s sold by just about every food store around these parts. It’s very good pnb—and is actually supposed to lower your cholesterol and triclyceride levels.
Wow, that’s a lot of products. Thanks for posting this.
I use sunbutter . Made of sunflower seeds. Very good. Used to go for almond butter.
A little more expensive but no worries with recalls.
How many peanut recalls we have?
Yes. Wasn’t on the list before and still isn’t.
Carter’s fault.
How's that inorganic PB working out?
LOL. I knew something didn’t look right after I posted my response. Trader Joes has their “Organic” and “Natural” peanut butters. We’re using the latter, which isn’t on the list as of today.
The whole organic thing seems largely a crock (I've survived a few score to date - ;-) ), but the opposite of organic is inorganic in my (simplistic) book. Just taking it out on you now that I'm tuned into it.
Tigers are wearing out Yankee pitchers. This is number 3 and its only the 5th inning.
About two weeks ago I became violently violently ill — I turned inside and out trying to get whatever it was OUT. Lost 2 days of work, should have been out a week.
Just saw the salmonella list a few days ago — LOVE peanut butter and eat a lot of it!! AND, I buy the brands on that list — Trader Joe’s and Target.
I’ve switched to almond butter — maybe permanently!! I do not EVER want to be sick like that again...
Ditto on the Smart Balance peanut butter. Excellent product!
We’ve used the Smart Balance brand of margarine for years, also. Tastes a lot like butter, is a healthy product, and can be used for cooking, also.
