Peanut Butter Salmonella

It seems like everytime I write about a food problem it seems to involve Salmonella. Well this week we see a lot about Peanut Butter. This is a fast moving salmonella scare so I suggest that you watch the news and see whether your Peanut Butter is poisonous or not.

U.S. health authorities urged consumers Saturday to avoid eating peanut butter and products that contain it until they can determine the scope of an outbreak of salmonella food poisoning that may have contributed to six deaths.

“We urge consumers to postpone eating any products that may contain peanut butter until additional information becomes available,” Dr. Stephen Sundlof of the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Food Safety said in a teleconference with reporters.

    As the FDA has said that we should avoid all peanut butter containing products including ice-creams, cookies, cakes candies, cereals and crackers…etc..

    …I thought you’d find this list of products that contain peanut butter useful. There are 300-400 products in the list…all which could contain peanut butter.

    What kind of symptons do you get with salmonella? I think that I have a bad jar of peanut butter and have had recurring sickness. Maybe I can trace it to that.
