Before you make that peanut butter and 'nanar** sandwich, STOP! Are you using Peter Pan or Great Value peanut butter? STOP! Look at the product code that is stamped on the lid of the jar. Does it begin with the number "2111" ????? SSTTOOPP!!!! and throw that jar away! The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning that this type of peanut butter may be contaminated with Salmonella Tennessee (a bacterium that causes foodborne illness). They are saying that you should discard your jars if they have been purchased since May 2006. So far no one has died. Yet, there have been 288 cases of foodborne illness in 39 states since August of 2006. Has you or anyone that you know been affected? Leave a comment here... Thanks for reading and I hope that this has helped you!
** my southern-to-english dictionary defines 'nanar thusly: (n.) banana

I saw the report on the news the morning they did this story, went to the kitchen to check our Peter Pan and sure enough it was that batch #2111. Funny thing is we had practically eaten the entire jar. You can imagine how thankful we are that our jar appears to have been untainted with the Salmonella germ. Still we threw the remainder of the jar of peanut butter away. Guess we'll just have to eat another brand of peanut butter for now. They say the symptoms are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache and dehydration. It's not anything to mess with and as the saying goes, "Better safe than sorry." Thanks for the specifics on the germ!
Just took back 3 jars!
