Huge Peanut Butter Recall - Salmonella

[isara]

I only just heard about this. Pass it on...

The peanut butter recall started with Peanut Corporation of America at one plant in Blakely, GA. ...they issued a press release and recalled a modest number of products. None of the products are for consumers to eat at retail locations, which meant that only those who buy peanut butter wholesale needed

That figures, the one time I buy thirty-five pounds of peanut butter, it's contaminated with raw sewage.

I suppose Squiddy's Roll-An-Orphan-In-Peanut-Butter Festival is complete off now. Damn.

Fast Food Nation talks about our creating a streamlined food system which is just great at spreading pathogens incredibly far and wide.
The first few headlines had me concerned, but in this case, I'm a Jarhead :).

I think one could do the benefit for the Orphanage, there'd just have to be honor guards to make sure the seal on the jars were untampered with and all the "Reeses"® cups would have to be made on site, like pies. I've seen pictures of judges at pie fairs, don't they wear honor guard sashes?

They do, but I always assumed their duty was to guard the pie from insurgents.

Stuff like this makes me miss The Beast. It was this machine at the local hippie food store in my home town that would grid up peanuts in to the best damn peanut butter you ever spread on your nipples for.. I mean, ate.
