So, what brand of peanut butter is lurking in your pantry right now? The following made the news here in the states yesterday:
THURSDAY, Feb. 15 (HealthDay News) -- Consumers should not eat certain jars of Peter Pan peanut butter or Great Value peanut butter because they may be contaminated with Salmonella Tennessee, a bacterium that causes food-borne illness, U.S. officials said.
People can identify the affected jars of Peter Pan or Great Value peanut butter by looking for a product code -- located on the lid -- that starts with the number 2111.
Guess what kind I feed my kids? At least it's a brand new, not yet opened jar. Thankfully, we emptied the current jar today and heard about this before we opened the new one. Now to see about getting it replaced or refunded...
advice,
