FDA Peanut Butter Warning Update

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning to consumers to avoid peanut butter products due to contamination of Salmonella Typhimurium. The source of the Salmonella contamination has been traced back to a processing plant in Blakely, Ga owned by Peanut Corporation of America. This facility manufactures both peanut butter served to institutions and peanut paste (a product made from ground, roasted peanuts) that is distributed to food manufacturers to be used as an ingredient in products such as cakes, cookies, and candies, among others.

Certain products have been recalled and since the investigation is ongoing the FDA recommends that consumers avoid peanut butter products that have been recalled and discard them.
