Peanut butter salmonella cases see over 600 infections

Last year's peanut butter recall due to salmonella poisoning has caused more than 628 cases of food poisoning in 47 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

While ConAgra foods has located the cause of the salmonella problem and has isolated the plant to fix it, the company will begin shipping its peanut butter products sometime this summer again, according to the company.

The Peter Pan brand is still not available and Wal-Mart is selling its store brand "Great Value" made by suppliers other than ConAgra. Are you still eating peanut butter? I am -- and putting the trust of various food manufacturers possibly ahead of where it should be.
