Time to start growing our own stuff in our backyards, I say! This is getting ridiculous. Thankfully we buy Jif. Never cared for Peter Pan.

I would never fed anything with Salmonella to animals either. Of course,
they could get sick.

Dogs aren't affected by it that's why they can eat raw diets without getting salmonella.
I don't live in the USA so we don't have these brands thank goodness.

Yeah, you're right buttercup, I just checked and only the very young pups
or dogs with compromized immune systems are at risk with it. But still, if I
wouldn't eat it, I wouldn't feed it to my pups either. That's just me.

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.

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.

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.
