Peanut butter recall.. - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Warning about salmonella. I know a lot of members here use peanut butter for administrating medication and for treats. Please be careful as the FDA has issued a hugh recall of not only peanut butter but other product containing peanuts such as cookies, crackers etc.

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum but wanted to be sure as many people see it as possible.

I heard that on the news tonight.
So far Skippy and Jiff are safe I think.

I heard about this on the news a day or two ago. Do they know what kind of peanut butter or what brands are being recalled? That part I didn't catch.

Are they? Cause i just bought a jar of jiffy the other day!! Now i'm nervous.

I would go to the FDA's website because the latest I heard was all peanut butter and anything that has peanuts in it. My understanding is that it is a supplier that supplies peanuts to many different companies.

Consumers Urged To Avoid Peanut Butter Products - KCRA 3 Health Watch News Story - KCRA Sacramento That's the link to the news story that kinda went with what I saw tonight. My mom has Jiffy peanut butter that she's been using and she's been alright

"WASHINGTON -- Federal health authorities are urging consumers to avoid eating foods that contain peanut butter until they can learn more about a deadly salmonella outbreak.

But the FDA said there's no indication of problems with peanut butter sold in jars at supermarkets."

I copied that quote from the opening part of the story.

I heard about it too, and I use to put in Kong balls, but not anymore.

chachi · 01-18-2009, 12:07 PM

So far all Ive heard that was affected was peanut butter that goes to institutions, keebler amos peanut butter cookies and peanut butter crackers and little debbie peanut butter crackers

MindieRose · 01-18-2009, 12:12 PM

The nice thing is that most dogs do not get seriously ill from salmonella, if they get sick at all from it. They do not get as sick with it as humans might

That's my understanding too. The first time I heard it on our local news they made it sound like it was all peanut butter and peanut products until they could narrow down the source.

The FDA website says:

"But the FDA said there's no indication of problems with peanut butter sold in jars at supermarkets.

Investigators are focusing on peanut paste and peanut butter produced at a Georgia plant owned by Peanut Corp. of America. Its products are distributed to institutions and food companies but are not sold directly to consumers."

I'm not going to worry too much. I don't eat much processed food anymore.
