OH MY GOSH! I have a jar of that too .... Sam's / Wal-Mart brand Great Value! Same code! Apparently made by same company, just labeled differently! THANK YOU for telling us this. I have to throw this one out too! Gosh, I think I will stay away from PB for a while. Is ANYTHING we buy safe anymore?

Here is what is posted on our local News website ... I had BOTH of these brands with the code and we had eaten out of BOTH jars!

ATLANTA (AP) -- A salmonella outbreak has prompted a recall of peanut butter.

The Food and Drug Administration said the outbreak began last summer and was just recently traced to peanut butter made at a single ConAgra plant in Sylvester, Ga.

The spread being recalled was sold under the Peter Pan and Great Value brands. The only jars affected have a product code beginning with the number "2111" on the lid.

It's believed to be the first salmonella outbreak associated with peanut butter in U.S. history.

Federal health officials said, since August, the outbreak has grown slowly to nearly 300 cases in 39 states. About 20 percent of those infected had to be hospitalized. All survived.

The largest number of cases were reported in New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Tennessee and Missouri.

Authorities still don't know how the salmonella got into the peanut butter.

The FDA said that Great Value peanut butter made by other

Thanks for posting that. We had a jar that falls into the recall, too. Thankfully, we also have a jar of Jif, so we're not "peanut-butter-less." Headed to throw the Peter Pan jar away...

Ours is really old because it's a 5 KG box... It doesn't have that code either... so it's probably fine
