Pistachio Recall !! Pistachio Nut Recall? What's Next?

Oh No! First, Peanut Butter and now a Pistachio Nut Recall? Word is that the Pistachio Recall could affect 31 states and the FDA is telling us not to eat Pistachio Nuts...but not to throw them away either until the company involved and the FDA decide what the extent of the contamination is.

FDA Peanut Butter Warning: FDA Recalls Peanut Butter

The great Peanut Butter Scare of 2009 has now hit epic proportions. The FDA is warning consumers against consuming ANYTHING containing peanut butter..other than jars of peanut butter themselves. This includes peanut butter crackers, peanut butter ice cream, peanut butter cookies, peanut butter candy and peanut butter cereal. No peanut butter products should be consumed other than that jar of Extra Chunky Skippy.

(This is true dear readers, please read on. Food Recalls should be taken seriously)

The FDA WARNING suggests that you throw away ALL products containing a hint of peanut butter so no one in the household is tempted to eat them. The reason that jars of peanut butter are okay? Apparently, one company supplies most of the peanut butter to all the companies that make peanut butter laced products. The salmonella has been traced back to this company and the FDA is not sure where all the contaminated product went to. Those who produce jars of peanut butter for sale on the grocery shelves either manufacture the peanut butter themselves or get it from a different source.

Lets be careful out there.

Keebler Peanut Butter Crackers Recall

The Elves are pissed.

Due to Peanut Corp. of America issuing a recall late
Tuesday for 21 lots of peanut butter made since July 1 at its plant
in Blakely, Ga., (because of possible salmonella contamination), Keebler has started pulling peanut butter crackers off the shelves. Peanut Corp. of America supplies peanut paste to Kellogg, which on Wednesday asked stores nationwide to pull peanut butter crackers sold under the Austin and Keebler brands.

The products being pulled include Austin and Keebler toasted
peanut butter sandwich crackers, peanut butter and jelly sandwich
crackers, cheese and peanut butter sandwich crackers, and peanut
butter-chocolate sandwich crackers. Customers and stores are asked
to hold onto the Kellogg products, but not eat them, until an
investigation is complete.

The FDA said Kellogg's move is known as a stop-sale order and isn't as serious as a recall. Neither the FDA nor a Kellogg spokesman could say how many units were involved, but a FDA spokesperson said, "It's a very large volume." A Kellogg spokesman said federal investigators visited company facilities this week.

The Peanut Corp. recall was issued after an open container of
King Nut peanut butter in a long-term care facility in Minnesota
was found to contain a strain of salmonella. Health officials had
recommended nursing homes, hospitals, schools, universities and
restaurants discard containers of peanut butter linked to the
outbreak. The peanut butter was in containers between 5 and 50
pounds.

Any consumer who wishes to return one of the sandwich cracker products for a refund can call the Kellogg Consumer Response Center at 1-888-314-2060.
