Peanut Butter Products Recalled

Seriously, it is getting so you don't know what is safe to eat anymore. They are recalling all kinds of products that have peanut butter in them. We love peanut butter and use Jif all the time in a jar and I am not afraid of it at all. But they use so much between little crackers and snacks. This has got to hurt the big businesses really bad that have to recall all their products when they aren't sure whether they are safe or not. Last I heard 6 people had died of salmonella from it. I know that is a deadly germ because we used to have hogs and when a sow got it, she died too and all her pigs. They say another 470 people in 43 states are sick and 90 had to be put in the hospital.

Both General Mills and Kellogg are recalling various products. Kellogg recalled 16 products last week. The Food and Drug Administration confirmed contamination in a single package of Austin Quality Foods Toasty Crackers with Peanut Butter. Other food companies and retailers have been recalling products with peanut butter in them just in case they could be contaminated.
