from the ap on saturday, "Federal health officials on Saturday urged consumers to avoid eating cookies, cakes, ice cream and other foods that contain peanut butter until the authorities can learn more about a deadly outbreak of salmonella contamination." again? really?
peanut butter in jars appears to be safe. they are focusing on peanut paste, not peanut butter. it is an ingredient that is put into products in the factories and not sold directly to consumers. 6 people have died and companies are voluntarily recalling their products just to be safe. uh huh. Kellogg has recalled 16 products.
the apparent source of the salmonella is the Peanut Corporation of America. Peter Pan peanut butter is seemingly not involved in this outbreak. thankfully. last time was too much; it was my childhood favorite. sugary saltiness.
check out the cdc website for more information.
(and i did not take that photo. i could not find any peanut butter willing to pose this morning.)
