Peanut Butter Product Information
My family LOVES peanut butter. In light of the recent recalls of peanut butter I decided to do a little pantry reasearch. I wanted to know what my family can and can not eat. *Please note this is information that was located on January 20 so if there are companies listed in the NOT impacted section that releases new recalls after January 20 please be aware of it. You may want to research it just to be sure! Also note that you need to be careful of vending machine snacks as well. The owners may not realize/care that a recalled product is in their machine and you may trust in the fact that they removed the prodcuts and YOU may end up very sick or dead because of this oversight/lack of caring. So far, as of January 20, 2009, this is what I have found: Companies NOT impacted: ~ J.M. Smucker Company products ARE safe for consumption. This company includes these brands – Smuckers, JIF, Smucker’s Uncrustables, Adams, and Laura Scudder. J.M. Smuckers PB is Safe! ~ Hershey Co – NOT affected LINK and/or LINK ~ ConAgra – NOT affected LINK and/or LINK ~ Lance Products NOT affected – Lance Press Release ~ Girl Scout Cookies NOT affected – LINK ~ Sara Lee products are safe and are NOT affected – Sara Lee ~ Kraft Products are safe and are NOT affected – Kraft Products ~ Mars Snackfoods are NOT affected and are safe for consumption – Mars Snackfoods ~ Harris Teeter – While Harris Teeter was affected in that their stores carried some of the products that were made with the tainted peanut butter they have provided a list of products they carry that have not been affected by the recall.
