Chicken in Your Peanut Butter?
How did the chicken get into the peanut butter? In case you haven’t heard there’s now a recall on Peter Pan brand peanut butter due to risk of contamination with Salmonella. Salmonella is most commonly found on raw chicken, it causes food-borne illness the symptoms are can be fever, diarrhea, and/or abdominal cramps. This has been implicated with Peter Pan peanut butter with a product code located on the lid of the jar that begins with the number “2111.” Besides the Salmonella risk, you’d be better off with an all natural peanut butter. Check the ingredients list should be just “peanuts†and “salt.†Most likely the Peter Pan brands have added sugars, fat and other stabilizers. I am still baffled as to how Salmonella got into the peanut butter. Are they slaughtering chickens in the peanut butter plant?
By the way, stay away from Wild Kitty Cat food, this seems to be contaminated with Salmonella too. Go to www.fda.gov for more details. And please don’t eat any raw chicken!
