man! freakin salmonella!
i JUST bought a 45 count pack of Austin Cheese Crackers w/ Peanut Butter at BJs on wednesday, i've had one (yesterday for a snack at work) and now they're being recalled because like 450 people over 48 states have gotten sick because of another peanut butter salmonella thing.
last time with the peter pan pb, i finished the jar just because it was almost gone when they recalled it, and was fine. and i just finished an 8 pack of the keebler cheese n pb crackers, which are also being recalled b/c they both come from kellogg's... but i don't know if i want to chance it. Dean said if it were him he'd just eat them but he doesnt want me to take the chance, but i wouldn't anyway.
i wonder if they'll be up on the news enough to take them out of the vending machines at work.... ???
My local news station ran story saying that the recll is expanding so quickly that the FDA website is running at least 24 hours behind. I think they may hve given another website, but I wasn't listening closely enough.
FDA is the main reason our food is so contaminated
Best thing to do is stay from Big Box Store Brands
You buy major brand processed foods more than likely you will be eating garbage.
I have never seen any of the organic simple brands recalled or even stuff like bulk peanuts.
joe, The FDA has its flaws, as does everything. But without them food safety standards would be worse. I'm getting a little bit tired of the assumption that organic brands are somehow safer or more elite. They're not. Check the FDA list; there are organic products on there, and some of the brands that Vegwebbers would trust as well: Clif and Trder joe's, for example.
I just looked at the whole list and the only thing on there I have ever eaten is the larabar
Zippy dog also eats nothing on the list.
stores like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are not in my area
Organic I can not truly trust either because they are regulated by the FDA
Do not mind me I have serious issues with processed food.
Rarely eat any processed food anymore and if I do I feel it.
In my opinion yes the FDA is evil they let so much slip through and most of these recalls the food in question is never recalled or known to the public.

Wonderful News on the Recall.
Just think of how much of it has already been consumed.
With a major recall like this they will probably be lucky if they recover 20% of it.

we get the large jars of jif at BJs and one of them's gone by week 2. Dean sits there and eats it with a spoon :P
Me again...
Here is the FDA's complete list
FDA's Peanut Butter Recall List
i'm surprised that Think Thin has recalled products but they haven't recalled their peanut butter bars, just their dark chocolate and chocolate mudslide bars
maybe the think thin pb bars were made at a different plant.
just wanted to let anyone thats missing the clif or luna pb flavor bars that odwalla is NOT part of the recall, and they have pb and a pb chocolate chip bars and they're delicious

Thanks PPC, I am having a serious jones attack here. I really miss my clif bars......sigh
The lady at the grocery store told me that only peanut products from that one company is a problem. Seems that the place has been sited several times but nothing was done about it. So it seems people had to die for something to be done about it???? So sad....
no problem jane! clif better get this straightened out of i may become a odwalla convert for good! (well, for the pb, pb choc, and berrys go-mega flavors anyway)
Plant workers are going to be indicted on felony charges, from what I've been hearing on the news.
I love me some Peanut butter!
Tried the Odwalla bars....not bad...not clif....but seriously not bad!!!! Tried the Chewy Nut Bar Sweet and Salty Peanut....got to get this it is like a PayDay bar....I am in love with this one. The Chocolate Chip Peanut is easing the pain of missing my PB Clifs....
abandons computer to go sit in corner and droll over bars.....num, num, num....
