The CDC and the FDA have been alerting consumers to possible salmonella contamination of peanut butter and other peanut butter containing products. The current investigation centers around King Nut which is produced by Peanut Corporation of America. PCA has recalled peanut butter made on or after August 8, 2008 and peanut butter paste made on or after September 26, 2008. The CDC and the FDA are recommending not to eat recalled items and to hold off on eating peanut butter containing items (i.e., cookies, cereals, crackers, candy, ice cream) as PCA distributes its products to manufacturers who use them as ingredients. As of January 16, 2009 474 people have been infected across 43 states. The infection may have contributed to 6 deaths.
