Peter Pan has to Squeeze 'N Go


This is from Reuters (can you fucking believe it) - All Peter Pan peanut butter bought since May 2006 should be discarded, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Friday in a statement broadening its warning about salmonella-contaminated Peter Pan peanut butter. More than 290 people from 39 states have become ill in the food poisoning outbreak, and 46 have been hospitalized, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.
Wait a second...if they are recalling Peter Pan peanut butter sold from May 2006 until now....why are people only getting sick now? How did they only find out now? Don't they do Batch testing?
ConAgra Foods Inc., which makes Peter Pan, said earlier it was checking the source of the contamination, which may have also affected the Great Value label peanut butter it makes for retailer Wal-Mart.

The last major outbreak of salmonella food poisoning in the United States was in November and was linked to tomatoes. It made 183 people ill in 22 states and Canada. Then there was the Spinachy thingy.


"If we cannot protect the nation's supply of peanut butter, one must ask how prepared we are for a terrorist attack on our nation's food supply," Michigan Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak said on Friday. Does anyone care? I don't. I mean I don't care about peanut butter.



Here are all of ConAgra's Brands (what is Ro*tel?)







Their website is super swamped right now. I guess everyone will be familiar with their brands before the weekend is over.
What is your favourite peanut butter...I like the natural kind without added sugar. Even better if you can make it yourself in the back of Mana foods in Maui.
