Peanut Butter Confirmed as Source of Salmonella Outbreak
Categories: Nutrition & Supplements

People began getting ill with the most current outbreak in early October. Last weekend, when certain peanut butters were suspected, both King Nut and Parnell's Pride peanut butter with the lot code "8" were recalled. Lab tests on those peanut butters revealed that they were the source. Two years ago, Peter Pan brand peanut butter was recalled for the same reason.
So do you need to worry about the peanut butter sitting in your pantry? Only if it is part of the current recall.

I guess this is an advantage to discovering I'm allergic to peanuts. No worries about this outbreak (although it sounds like it was mostly food service so wouldn't have been an issue anyway). This is the second major PB outbreak though - it's starting to sound like, with allergies, salmonella, and aflatoxin, PB is something people should be eating a lot less of in general.
But I just discovered Sunbutter, and I'm totally in love with it. Makes a great PB substitute. Even tastes great when I dip my dark chocolate in it!
