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

I am so glad you posted this. I heard it on the news but since I don't buy many name brands, I did not think much of it. But, I looked in my cupboard when I got Kim's email and sure enough, I did have a HUGE jar of Great Value that I bought at WalMart. It has the 2111 code on top and it is over half eaten I fix it often for Misha when she is here so have emailed my kids.

I appreciate the warning!! I get some of my best info from here on PT

Some good comes of the fact I have never eaten peanut butter!
