PSA: Peanut Butter Product Recall Growing

Posted on 01 23, 2009 under Newsflashes by reviewdad | View Comments

By now you’ve probably heard about the peanut butter recall due to a salmonella outbreak.  Initially believed to be confined to a single productstamaty_peanut-spot2 and affecting only a few states,  now, like Skippy creamy on a piece of warm toast, it’s been spreading easily.   According to WebMD, affected products include but are not limited to:

  • General Mills: Lara Bar Peanut Butter Cookie flavor snack bars and Jam Frakas Peanut Butter Blisscrisp flavor snack bars
  • Clif Bar & Company: Clif Bar Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch, Clif Bar Crunchy Peanut Butter, Clif Bar Peanut Toffee Buzz,  ZBaR Peanut Butter, Clif Builders Peanut Butter, Luna Nutz over Chocolate, Luna Peanut Butter Cookie, and all Clif Mojo Bars
  • Kroger: Private Selection Peanut Butter Passion Ice Cream sold at City Market, Fred Meyer, Fry’s, King Soopers, QFC, and Smith’s stores.
  • Kellogg Company: Certain Austin and Keebler brand peanut butter sandwich crackers, select snack-size packs of Famous Amos Peanut Butter Cookies, and Keebler Soft Batch Homestyle Peanut Butter Cookies

All companies got their peanut butter from Peanut Corporation of America.  Now that’s just not very patriotic PCA!  Come on…it’s a new eara of National unity…or have you not hear?!  Anyhow, for a full/latest list, visit the FDA site.  Unfortunately, the list is being updated regularly. BAD PEANUT!

  • Yeah I have been making my own peanut butter as well for years. I try to make my own stuff when I can, coz I know exactly what is going in there.
    * 1 cup roasted peanuts
    * 1 1/2 teaspoons oil (peanut oil preferred)
    * 1/4 teaspoon salt

    Sometimes I'll add some hazel nuts or other nuts in there ... Yummy!
  • The peanut price in our state is growing crazy.
  • Great
  • thanks. Never before I had crossed over like an informative post like this. I was totally sick with your post you shared .Awesome share dude.

    CHEERS
  • I make my own as well, it tastes much better and I can add a few extra things to spice it up
  • All the more reason to make your own...or grind it at Whole Foods.
