Tainted Peanut Butter Love
Published by Karyn Zoldan October 19th, 2007 in Comfort Foods, Food Safety, Food for Thought, Snacks.If you’re like me, you forgo the bread and just dip your spoon or butter knife into a jar of peanut butter and bliss away.
Peanut butter love sounds innocent enough but according to recent news, Peter Pan Peanut Butter has the potentially deadly problem of salmonella and the FDA hasn’t really done much about it.
Hundreds of people have experienced the salmonella symptoms of fever, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting and two elderly women have died after eating their beloved peanut butter sandwiches.
I love natural peanut butter - no additives. Not too sweet with a more peanutty taste. I finally got my niece and nephew to switch over. Kids are so resistant to change.
I do the same thing with Nutella when it is in the house. I try hard not to buy it because of this addiction.
