Peter Pan and Great Value brand Peanut Butter and SALMONELLA!!!

My Dad had a jar of it. With his not so great health and being 84 years old it could have been bad for him. Thank goodness it's gone now - he already has his refund from the store.

Since we've been eating healthier I stopped eating peanut butter and Richard is into the organic and fresh ground stuff.

From what I understand, it was the peanuts, not the particular brand, that caused the problem. After 300 reported cases of salmonella, the Peter Pan brand and the other brand (whose name I forget), were isolated, but I'm pretty sure that everything I read was about the peanuts, not their processing.

This is a fairly local news story for us (the plant is a couple of counties over), and it was said last night on the news that this is a very clean and well-run plant. They had shut down until they can get to the bottom of this, though. I haven't seen the news today, though.

thank you buttercup - three of my friends alerted me that seven dogs got sick from peanut butter but didn't say salmonella though - although I trust raw diet feeding - no problem so far - I just wanted to make sure! crayola loves peanut butter frosty paws.

I found a Sam's Value pnut butter in my cabinet with the infamous 2111 code on the lid! I will be taking it back to my local walmart for a refund.

I saw on the news tonight that one of our local newscasters has been sick for a few weeks with severe salmonella poisoning from eating tainted pnut butter! She had gone to the ER (I think they said) 3 times and had been dismissed with the flu, as the flu has been terrible around here! Now they have diagnosed salmonella poisoning. The newscasters tonight said she has been very ill! Poor thing!

By the way, I had used that particular pnut butter to make Christmas cookies with Hershey's kisses on them! No one that I gave them to complained of getting sick, fortunately!
