Some Asian foods made with peanut sauces are turning up on recall lists.

Also, the company's name would not appear on the consumer package. The product was sold to retail and grocery store bakeries and other foodservice outlets. The recalled products carry a lot code of 2208-1 or higher. For more information, consumers can call 952-250-8831.

<b>No major brands of peanut butter sold in jars are implicated. </b> </i>

Interesting how powerful a word is implicated. I noticed the other day that TraderJoe's pulled several items that had peanut butter in them.

I am a Skippy PB person, all my Mom ever used.  Mom's rub off on you whether you want them too or not.  :)))
I am a Skippy girl too Arnie. My honey brought a jar of Jif home not too long ago and I told hiim " Enjoy, I aint touching that stuff! " he buys me nothing but Skippy now. I proudly stuck my chest out when they said on TV last night it wasn't Skippy. My honey looked at me and said.."Should have known yours wouldn't be one of them"  :))

I know my Marc's here carries lots of King Nut stuff, and they do sell institutional size products......but I don't know about PB.  Right now just sticking to what I know which is name brands even if it does cost more.  Besides 5lb of PB for just me and the hubby would get stale before we ate it all.

According to the FDA lady I heard on Fox News she was saying jar peanut butter was safe. 

Here is site for updates.

Thanks plenty! I imagine that did not include "restaurant sizes" like you find at Costco cuz the original article mentions a 5 lb jar. I eat a lot of pb but do not buy in those large sizes. I figured it was something that had been imported but it is good old American salmonella!

From what was first said (post one)  "open 5-pound tub of King Nut peanut butter". Have you seen somewhere that it says all jar peanut butter is safe?



And wouldn't ya just know it, I've been craving peanut butter on celery!  Choosy moms choose Jif!
