Peanut Butter, Too!

Yet another thing to watch out for... The FDA has tracked the source of the recent Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak to Peanut Corporation of America, based in Blakely, Georgia. Many people might not recognize the name and ignore the news, but this company actually produces enormous quantities of peanut butter and peanut paste that go into processed foods produced by Keebler, Sam's Choice, Austin Quality Foods and Little Debbie, to name just a few.

You might be surprised as you read the FDA's recalled product list that even Walmart Bakery, H-E-Buddy, NutriSystem and Trader Joe's make an appearance. And all of this from a single production plant – you can't say it's not efficient...

You may want to scan that pantry one more time.
