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

[kimlovescats]

Jars of Peter Pan PB with the code on the lid starting with 2111 have been spreading Salmonella! We had a jar of this ourselves 3/4 already eaten!!! Thank GOD we didn't get sick!!! My ex-husband had 3 jars with the same code! I'm not sure how far across the country this particular code has been distributed, but please check your pantries!!!

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?

Jiffy is not included in the recall.

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...

That's why I buy only Skippy.

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!
