the last I read was that jars of PP are fine...it's cookies and crackers and such that are the problem

As far as I know, it IS the stuff in the jar as well.

Jars of peanut butter are fine. If they weren't they wouldn't be on the shelves.

So far jars are said to be OK. We just finished a jar of Jiff and I opened a new one today and used it myself and told the kids they could have it tomorrow.

We really like our PB around here. I did ditch anything that contained PB except for the jars.

If you have access to a health food store you can grind your own. We have been doing it for years and the kids love it. It is so much better for you as it has no preservatives.

jars are fine - you can go to the individual manufacturer's sites. Most have a statement that they do not get their product from that source.

Reese's Peanut Butter cups are ok too according to the site.

Girl Scout cookies are ok.

It was huge tubs of PB that food services use that was initially recalled, then it spread to products. Jars of PB at the store are fine.

Do you have a recipe for this? I'd like to try this. Thanks!

No recipe...just grind roasted peanuts!!

But how do you make it creamier? I'm picturing grinding peanuts and just ending up with peanut dust!

Better be okay. DW Lauri just made 60 Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes for my work the other day with a brand new jar of peanut butter. I'm on vacation but I'm sure I would have heard something if all the staff got sick at once!
