I posted today over at my Twitter Moms blog about the Peanut Butter Recall.
It is important information for Moms and families, and the recall covers products that might surprise you. It's not just jars of peanut butter, but snack cakes, crackers, ice cream, diet products, granola bars, and pet food.
It's especially important for moms because half of those who have gotten ill are children! So far over 500 people have been identified as contracting Salmonella poisoning, 22% of them have been hospitalized and 8 have died.
This is serious business, especially if your family is as addicted to peanut butter as we are.
Please check it out for yourself. The article gives links to the comprehensive list of products to avoid -- everything from Wal-Mart bakery cookies to Keebler brand products to diet bars like NutriSystem bars and the Zone. Products from both Wal-Mart and Meijer are included, among other regional grocery stores.
It is worth the time to keep your family safe and healthy.

Thanks for the info :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such good information. We eat about four of these products! I'm so glad you posted this!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the detailed information. I've been trying to keep up on the story, and noticed that every time I checked, the contamination had reached further and further. It's kind of scary for a mom!
