We are the lucky winners of eating a jar of one of the recalled Peter Pan peanut butter salmonella jars. I would suspect this may have something to do with the "stomach bug" me and the family seemed to pick up last week. Then again, I have small kids. We all have a cold. It could be anything.
Like.... say... Salmonella. angry2.gif

We have some of that tainted peanut butter here too! Two jars - unopened!

What the heck? Chickens been getting too close to the peanuts? Or maybe the rats have been helping themselves? I'm still reading on this..............how does salmonella make its' way into peanut butter?

*EDIT

This from a UK paper, medical news.

Exactly how the bacteria got into the jars of peanut butter is still a mystery. The process of making peanut butter heats it to a very high temperature to kill all such pathogens. It is possible said some of the health officials, that the bacteria got in through contaiminated jars. Or perhaps it was on equipment that came into contact with the product after it was heated and before it was sealed in the jar.

Symptoms of Salmonella include fever, stomach ache and diarrhea. Salmonella is not normally life-threatening in healthy people. But it can be very serious for anyone with a compromised immune system, such as someone who is elderly and frail, or already ill with a serious infection, or very underweight.
