you believe it now there recalling peanut butter in different states now!

I just heard about this today after I went to get peanut butter while grocery shopping @ Wal Mart...they didn't even have a notice up with an explanation... also noticed there wasn't any Great Value parmesan cheese... whats up with that??

My mother just sent in 2 jar lids from the identified lot# for refund. My father had 1/2 of one jar gone, and has not been sick, although there have been 5 cases identified in our county. It's going to be interesting to see how this one turns out. They have not definitively identified salmonella in any jars of peanut butter, and as far as I know salmonella is a bacteria found in eggs. There are no eggs in peanut butter, so it is a mystery where this is coming from...

It is scary, I had a jar of the Great Value Peanut Butter in my cabinet, my son & I had eaten about half of it & when I heard about this I looked at the jar & it had 2111####### on the lid. I was scared at first, but I thought about it, and we bought the peanut butter back in December, & have been eating it since & have not gotten sick, so I think that we are ok, but it was scary, especially being that we are in Alabama, & more than likely our peanut butter does come from a plant like Georgia or another southern state.

Well I did just read that one of my Friends actually had a Jar which contained it and so did her Friend, her Friend actually got sick eating it. I think it is terrible what is happening to the Food lately.

Yup, my state was among one of the few recalled. I was at the Super Walmart today and there was hardly any peanut butter to be found. Only Jiff and Reeses brand were available.

Yeah, I have been seeing that alot more and more on the news.. It was so really interesting today at work we had a cake contest..with tickets and there was a peanut butter cake there, nobody asked about the peanut butter but me... It made me realize how many people really listen or read about the news...they were just going with it... It's really sad overall, it makes you wonder about the food we consume. What these distributors really do behind closed doors. How far will they go to make money off old stuff or how sterile they are about their products...

I actually work with someone who had a jar with the serial number that they posted. She had eaten most of the jar already. Luckily she hasn't become ill. I guess she got lucky. It crazy that so much food is being recalled lately. It kind of makes you wonder what's really going on.

I have never been a big penut butter eater but for now on I don't want Peter Pan that is scary. I live right next to Gergia. I am in Florida

In our state, they say not to throw the peanut butter away. Scavangers will get it and may create a epidemic. Take the whole jar with lid closed to the place you bought it and they will give you a refund and destroy it.

I read this article too. I was shocked. It is in 39 states. So I spent yesterday calling all family members. Most of us use Jif, but I had an aunt in one state that has the bad pbutter, (she said it hasnt made them ill though , but she is throwing it away anyhow) and another family in another state that bought two jars of it. I did not think that peanutbutter could go bad. It makes ya wonder...hhhmmm. lol Little things like this creep up, though I do not think this is so little, but it reminds us to check the dates on cans and packages all throughout the kitchen too, as we have the tendency to forget whats in the back of those cabinets. I pulled some evaporated milk cans out of my moms kitchen that the use by date was 2005! (my mom passed away last year and had been really ill for two years prior to that) My dad never thinks to look at it, he believes if it is canned it won't go bad. I told him he has no idea how lucky he has been that he hasn't gotten ill. I still would not have ever expected it in peanutbutter though. That did shock me. I guess we can never be too careful when it comes to food though.

Yep! I had one. Used some of it over Christmas time for cookies. Now, I know why everyone that ate those cookies did not feel well. No one got really sick, sick but just a stomach ache. I just threw it away. So sad that even our processing plants with all their so called sanitary procedures etc. still produce products that are unsafe.

So what brands are these really? The one you have in your pic looks like a Jif container to me. I just made peanut butter cookies with that and didn't have any problems.

Thanks for the warning. I have "Skippy". Will share w/others.

Good greif what next ? What is the world coming to ? We can't drink the water, we buy bottled water, they say don't eat eggs, then they say Yes eggs are good, don't eat beef, watch for germs etc. etc. etc. I can remember digging worms from the garden to go fishing, and if you were thirsty you went to the garden hose took a drink and back digging worms. You never thought to wash your hands till you came home from fishing, and you ate your lunch you took with you. Very often we'd be in the garden pulling weeds and you wipe the dirt off the carrot and eat it while still pulling weeds. Now a days it's sure not like that. What went wrong.

I am certainly glad that I do not use Peter Pan Peanut butter for my sandwiches and other items. I am not surprised by this news and wonder what else will be recalled. It seems like a lot of things are being recalled because of this outbreak or other diseases. Thank you for sharing this information and the warning since not everyone is aware of this news.

yes i have heard about this and my mother in law eats peter pan peanut butter she checked hers and it had the code 2-1-1-1- on it so she thinks that is why she has been getting so sick

I have been eating Peter Pan PB the no sugar added, I jus finished a jar last week, not sure if this was added to the list, I don't have the jar anymore to tell if this was the recalled one. So far no one got ill from it.

They are now saying that it is not the peanut butter that is making you sick it is the container that the peanut butter is in. Apparently something contaminated the jars.

I am in SC and we have had cases here too. The thing that worries me is the first time there was a problem was in October and they are just now letting us know about it.
