Peanut Butter Recall
I know it's not home repair.
Close call. A bit too close, for me, for sure. Checked the pantry for Peter Pan with the code #2111 on the lid. I had six (count 'em, six!) of them. I coulda been sick for a year, and not known what happened. Got to keep up with the news. -- Christopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll. You have to starve them. .. |

Yeah, we had a jar as well - (Lordy, you had SIX?) Now, what to do with
them. Don't know if anyone will refund the cost or not. "Stormin Mormon" wrote in message ... I know it's not home repair. Close call. A bit too close, for me, for sure.

Checked the pantry for Peter Pan with the code #2111 on the lid. Okay, why do you have 6 jars a PB in the first place? Second, I always buy JIF, so I don't care. |

You guessed it, 6 jars all have 2111. Had one jar of JIF for the grandson. -- ______________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . .

Chuckle- BTDT (or should I say, BTDDT?) Just had a bout myself, not from peanut butter, but from a bottle of fruit-flavored water sweetened with that Splenda crap. Meant to buy plain, didn't even occur to me the machine had anything else in it, didn't bend down far enough to read the bottle label through the glass on the front of the machine. I appear to be in the 'small percentage' of people who experience bad side effects from the stuff. Nothing like Pepto Bismol for an early breakfast around 0300 the next day. It worked, after the second dose, but now things are too far the other direction. I guess this is good practice for that roto-rooter test the doc has been nagging me to have........ aem sends... |

Had you kept the jar and had it tested, you could collect if it was positive. The proof is gone. There is also a rather nasty virus going around that causes you to have symptoms similar to food poisoning. You'll be losing your internals out both ends. |

And included stuff labeled for Peter Pan, and Great Value. I dunno what the deal is in the above about skippy, Maybe the kids are sensitive to one or more or the non-peanut additives? |

Anyone know the real likelihood of getting infected from using it? 50-50. You either do or you don't. (Onset time is usually in the 12-72 hour range, from what I can find. If it's been more than 3 days since you got rid of the suspect food, you're probably fine.) |

I had 2 jars with 2111 on the lid, already opened one and it's half gone....no belly ache...no poopin, must be ok. Much ado about nothing if you ask me, a few dozen people get a tummy ache and the whole freakin country goes ito a frenzy. Yeah, I know some people died from it but you know what??? those people were gonna die ANYWAY from SOMETHING (like an infected hang nail maybe) And on the positive side maybe peter pan killed that skanky Anna Nichole Ho taking her out before she pollutes the gene pool even FURTHER. Amazing isn't it, a few (already sick/dying) people croak from eating peanut butter and the country goes nuts, One REALLY NASTY skank that I wouldn't touch with YOUR pee pee dies and everyone starts bawlin, BUT 40,000 people die every year in car crashes (most of which could be avoided by not driving like A holes) and not a word is spoken. And I could go on and on..... Well, thats my rant for today,I feel better now, guess I'll go have a nutter nutter butter peanut butter sandwich. Hugs to All G |

Now the 'other' stuff, is mash peanuts, remove the peanut oil to be sold separately. Then add vegetable oil as a cheap substitute. To cover up the change in taste, flavor with sugar and salt. Now I wasn't sure about this, but compare the ingredients. tom |

Having Skippy in the house makes them sick? I've been eating it as long as I can recall, about 60 years Now my wife says it was Peter Pan. 3 days ago it was Skippy. Tomorrow it will have been Jiff. After that, who knows. |

I've been eating it as long as I can recall, about 60 years Well, the recall was about a specific batch from Con-Agra, which is apparently contaminated with salmonella. And included stuff labeled for Peter Pan, and Great Value. I dunno what the deal is in the above about skippy, Maybe the kids are sensitive to one or more or the non-peanut additives? Nope, the wife got the brands mixed up. She told me a few days ago that they had Skippy. Today she was talking about it and it was Peter Pan.~ |

I'm currently peanutbutterless. -- Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.laughingsquid.com I'm glad I'm a Skippy fan. Get yourself a jar of Super Chunk. It was on sale today and very little left since the Peter Pan was pulled. My daughter had Skippy and my two favorite grandsons were sick until they got rid of it. They are doing fine now. Is Skippy a ConAgra product? Are the boys eating -other- PB brands without getting sick? My wife didn't get the brand right. She told me that they had Skippy that had the salmonella. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net |

A bit too close, for me, for sure. Checked the pantry for Peter Pan with the code #2111 on the lid. I had six (count 'em, six!) of them. I coulda been sick for a year, and not known what happened. Got to keep up with the news. We found out it's the other brand that has #2111 on the lid. Bring the entire jar back to the store. The "good" stores will give you money back. Recall Information: "Great Value" brand with product code # 2111 should be discarded or returned. "Peter Pan" brand purchased after May 2006 should be thrown away or returned. Salmonella information: Salmonella is a bacteria spread by eating or drinking contaminated food or water or by contact with infected people or animals. Salmonella symptoms include: fever, vomiting, nausea and diarrhea. Unlike a virus, salmonella symptoms come on quick, 12 to 72 hours. I had the diarrhea,lower back ache,and fever/chills.Thought it was a kidney infection,before I heard about the PB problem,and checked my jar lid. #2111! I had 4 jars (ALL #2111) and had eaten some from one. I read somewhere that symptoms of salmonella usually show up 12 to 48 hours eating the infected food. I'm at about 28 now. A co-worker had Peter Pan on crackers and I ate some BEFORE we found out about the recalls. GAWD!!!! Did I worry, but didn't get sick. If it was the jars and not the contents that were contaminated,then you could eat quite a bit before encountering the tainted PB,that was in contact with the jar inside.It also depends on how much of a bacterial load you consume. -- Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.laughingsquid.com "Unlike biological evolution. 'intelligent design' is not a genuine scientific theory and, therefore, has no place in the curriculum of our nation's public school classes." -- Ted Kennedy What qualifications does Teddy have that the scientists do not? Why has nobody received the $250,000 reward for giving one single objective, testable piece of evidence proving any point of evolution? |
