It looks like the Keebler elves have been laid off. After King Nut and Parnell's Pride peanut butter was recalled because of the recent salmonella outbreak, Kellogg's has decided to be cautious and halt sales of their peanut butter crackers.

Though no cases of salmonella can be traced to the Kellogg's crackers, one of the suppliers of the peanut paste is involved in the peanut butter recall. When it's something as serious as this, the old adage holds true -- an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

The cracker varieties include Toasted Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers, Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Crackers, Cheese and Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers, and Peanut Butter-Chocolate Sandwich Crackers and are sold under the Austin and Keebler brands.
