Peter Pan Peanut Butter Recall!

[coolkidhann95]

That's what my youngest said last night when I told him about the salmonella problem.

There was also a Dole recall yesterday on canteloups for salmonella contamination also.

And he is anaphylactic to peanuts and melons, so he thought that was appropriate.

Carp I have to go check my canteloup

Hi,

Put me on this prestige lid. I had a jar of the tainted peanut butter. My numbers were on the list. As luck would have it I got extremely ill as well. Horrible for 24 hours but felt wiped out for 3 days. I am just SO HAPPY Slinkyman did not eat any of this. He has been through enough- I shudder at the thought that I could have given him something to eat that could have made him very ill especially where is immune system is still on the mend.

We have a jar of it as well, almost empty. Obviously not effected though. It is an old jar though, expires this month. It is the crunchy that only DH eats anyway, and he only goes through a small jar about once a year, so pretty sure it was bought long ago.

And this can happen to any food, any brand!

Wow now I'm lucky my parents don't buy Peter Pan Peanut Butter. They buy Skippy.

It can happen to Skippy as well though, pretty much anything we eat, from anywhere can end up contaminated.

Yes. It can happen to any brand and to any food. But this time it happened to Peter Pan.

Oh, I understand that. But I am finding it interesting that people are saying, boy, sure is good I only use this brand or that, like it couldn't possibly happen with the other brands! I too only have Skippy for the kids in the house right now, Thank God since they eat it almost daily lately, but to think it won't ever happen to us because we only use Skippy is amusing me here. Like if a Delta plane crashes, thank goodness I only fly Southwest!

My dad was very upset when he heard about this.
We buy 8 pound jars of peter pan at a time, and my sister and I eat a lot of peanut butter.
The thing that stunk was that we actully had the bad number of peanut butter. It scared me and my sister half to death.
The werid thing was, that right before I heard about this on the news, I ate the peanut butter on a cracker. Then my sister called and told us to turn on the news. We were really scared.
It turns out that all of the jars of that stuff that we have left (like 5 jars) has this number on it... Which totally stinks.
My dad doesn't even know if he can get a recall, because he doesn't even know the date he bought them, nor does he half the recieps..

In cases like this... all he should have to do it return the jars to the store he bought them for a refund. No recept needed...

Luckley All We Will Eat Is JIF And Off Brand So Lucky Us

 

[Laurabearz]

an 'off brand' was involved in the recall also Jasonpwms just so you know.

 

[FrontierNatasha]

What's an off brand by the way? Is it one of those not so famous brands? Just guessing.

 

[jasonpwns]

Shoot and we threw it away other then headaches we have been ok

 

[AbsoluteAwesome]

I only eat organic peanut butter-- I hope that's not affected in any way because I eat it daily!

Yes. An off brand is usually the store brand or value brand. Sometimes it's as good as the name brands. Sometimes it's not.


And the off brand that was also recalled is Great Value Peanut Butter. Both are made by the ConAgra food company.
