Mmmmm, I love salmon.
..hummmm....
AP NewsA salmonella outbreak that has slowly grown to nearly 300 cases in 39 states since August has been linked to tainted peanut butter, federal health officials said Wednesday.
It is believed to be the first salmonella outbreak associated with peanut butter in U.S. history, said officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
About 20 percent of the 288 infected people have been hospitalized, but none has died, said Dr. Mike Lynch, a CDC epidemiologist.

The Food and Drug Administration warned consumers not to eat certain jars of Peter Pan or Great Value peanut butter because of the risk of contamination.
The affected jars have a product code on the lid that begins with the number "2111." The affected jars are made by ConAgra in a single facility in Sylvester, Ga., the FDA said.
Great Value peanut butter made by other manufacturers is not affected, the agency said.
ConAgra said it is recalling all Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter beginning with product code 2111.
So the list of unsafe foods includes peanut butter now too..
That's Chicken, Milk, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, spinach, peanut butter and anything made at Taco Bell or Taco Johns for you northerners.
What's up with these unsafe food standards? Are we sacraficing safety by rushing foods to market? Wat up FDA?
Mmmmm, I love salmon.
Along with the health system that promotes denying care and punishes giving care while killing 100K people through medical errors, the US food system is so ed up that food should be treated with HazMat techniques.

The (industrial) food the doesn't make you sick with pathogenic microbes/virusus still makes you sick over your lifetime (cardio-vascular, cancer, diabetes, etc, etc), the so-called "rich country diseases".
Go ahead, right-wingers, destroy the federal govt, de-regulate everything, and "trust the market". You'll get ed harder and faster by the corps.
These rush-to-market strategies make me feel sick about the HPV vaccine and injecting this into girls as young as 9.
...and I love the taste of peanut butter!
ing Bush...
I ate all of those this week. Stangely enough, I haven't died. How does one "rush" peanut butter to market?That's Chicken, Milk, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, spinach, peanut butter
And boutons is just one example of a product
of our health system. They kept him alive when
he was born. Just another example of poor
decisions of the American Health System....
ssssss
Crunchy style.
Keep eating...keep eating.
You your for darwinism?
I see the problem here.
It's Peter Pan peanut butter.
Great Value peanut butter? I'd expect salmonella with a generic brand name like that.
Just in pimp's case. I'd like to see him get the award.You your for darwinism?
I believe that's the WalMart brand; so, Bonus!
In very fast trucks?
They used to 'process' vegatables and fruits before taking them to market. Today, they sell the stuff out of the back of trucks straight from the field. Washing your veggies has never been so important, but even the best hygiene won't help against some bacterial contaminations, this is why we need a FDA which the Bush administration has been gutting....
Meanwhile, the contamination continues....
YahooMONDAY, Feb. 19 (HealthDay News) -- The drumroll for tainted food continued Monday with a nationwide recall of Oscar Mayer chicken breast strips for bacterial contamination.
.......
The chicken breast recall is the fourth food recall in a week. Fresh cantaloupe and selected jars of organic baby food were recalled late Friday, and a major recall of peanut butter was initiated late Wednesday after 300 people in 39 states were sickened.
In the case of the cantaloupes and peanut butter, the culprit was salmonella. The baby food was contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, which can cause botulism. Both are life-threatening illnesses. Dole Fresh Fruit Co. recalled roughly 6,104 cartons of imported cantaloupes from Costa Rica that were distributed to wholesalers in the eastern United States and Quebec between Feb. 5 and Feb. 8, the Associated Press reported. There were no reports of illness.
And the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned consumers late Friday not to use certain jars of Earth's Best Organic 2 Apple Peach Barley Wholesome Breakfast baby food because they may be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum,, a life-threatening illness.
The manufacturer, Hain Celestial Group of Melville, N.Y., initiated a recall on Feb. 9 of 4,072 cases of individual jars and 38,298 variety packs, the FDA said in a prepared statement. Production and distribution of the baby food has been suspended while the FDA and the company work to determine the source of the problem.
There are fields of peanut butter?
Fields of peanuts. Remember the bad spinach? There was cow manuer in the spinach. You tell me how that happened?
There was a cow pasture near the field.
They don't process peanut butter anymore?
apparently not well enough...besides, my point is the cuts in FDA funds.
How much have they been cut?
