*PB* Important. Please Don't...


Good Monday Morning Everyone;
After being very interested in all the latest food recalls, it has come to my attention that everything is now included in this.

Please do not eat anything until further notice.
;-)

Thank you.

  1. It's a shame isn't it that this is still going on and especially with peanut butter again you really do have to be afraid of what you eat....they even recalled Little Debbie products which they use in school districts....

  2. I have been keenly interested in all of this since Casey left a Minnesota hospital pretty dang ill.

    And usually I would post the link to any recalls.
    But this is getting downright ridiculous. I would have to post a zillion links!

    You are warned. Peanuts are everywhere.

    Who flung poo in the peanut fields anyway?

    Hmm...

    ReplyDelete

  3. Why are schools serving Little Debbies anyway?

    ReplyDelete
  4. They are in my school district and I'm pretty sure the school district's surrounding mine

    ReplyDelete
  5. But WHY serve this kind of garbage to begin with?
    People (and their kids) should be smarter than that by now that schools wouldn't be serving such non~nutritional crap.

    At any rate, I am hoping that everyone realizes how far reaching the peanut industry is.

  6. Dog treats will probably be next... Although most dogs do have a natural immunity against salmonella.

  7. I'm still hoping this is only after peanuts have been processed, or salmonella that gets into the peanut butter. So far they haven't said anything about plain old harvested peanuts. I buy and eat a 4 pond bag of peanuts in the shell every week and I'm not sick.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Well now you have brought up an interesting question... If peanut products are in everything.. and yet only about 400 have gotten ill and only 4 have died (isnt that a terrible way to say it) How on earth have they come to the conclusion that its the peanut butter or peanuts?
    Are we sure it wasnt just a few folks who have not washed their hands well? Or maybe the storage of some of the products? And how long has this all been going on? 1 week? 2? maybe a month?

    Just doesnt quite pan out for me...

    ReplyDelete
  9. What they do not tell in any of their stories is that humans 'can' also build up an immunity against salmonella.
    But I sure wouldn't recommend trying that out.

    I love peanuts too.
    But peanut butter and I do not get along, unless it is baked into something.
    (Like dog treats)!
    hehehe

  10. Salmonella is food contamination, whether it came from the fields or the improper washing.
    Storage poisoning is a whole 'nother can of worms. (No pun intended).

    The original people that got ill were from a hospital in Minnesota. (Of course that is why it piqued my interest to begin with). There and in nursing homes.
    The mathematical equations, consensus and elimination was figured by ruling products OUT. And then narrowing the remaining field of foodstuffs.


    Hang on...

  11. To answer how long it's been going on...

  13. Found this on Good Morning America's site: The Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) on Monday urged the public to avoid eating 25 food products manufactured in the United States that are suspected of containing the Salmonella bacteria.

    In a radio dzBB report, the BFAD was quoted as saying 16 of the products are brands of food manufacturer Kellogg Co, namely:

    1) Austin Quality Foods Cheese Cracker with Peanut Butter (all sizes)

    2) Austin Quality Food Cheese and Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers (all sizes)

    3) Austin Quality Food Mega Stuffed Cheese Crackers with Peanut Butter (all sizes)

    4) Austin Quality Foods PB & J Cracker Sandwiches (all sizes)

    5) Austin Quality Foods Super Snack Pack Sandwich Crackers

    6) Austin Quality Foods Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers

    7) Austin Quality Foods Toasty Crackers with Peanut Butter

    8) Austin Quality Foods Reduced Fat Cheese & Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers

    9) Austin Quality Foods Reduced Fat Toasty Crackers with Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers

    10) Austin Quality Foods Cookie/Cracker Pack

    11) Austin Quality Foods Variety Pack

    12) Keebler Cheese & Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers

    13) Keebler Toast & PB'n J Flavored Sandwich Crackers

    14) Keebler Toast & Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers

    15) Famous Amos Peanut Butter Cookies

    16) Keebler Soft Batch Homestyle Peanut Butter Cookies

    According to the same radio report, the BFAD also discouraged the public from eating ice cream products manufactured by Perry’s Ice Cream and Hy-Vee’s bakery products with the brands:

    Peanut Butter Cookies
    Monster Cookies
    Peanut Butter Reese's Pieces Cookies
    Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
    Lunchbox Reese's Pieces Cookies
    Lunchbox Peanut Butter Cookies
    People Chow Party Mix, and
    Assorted Truffle Fudge.

    Kellog, Hy-Vee and Perry’s Ice Cream have all recalled the select products from local stores in the United States.

    The recall came a day after US health officials warned the public against consuming cookies, ice cream, cakes and other food with peanut butter, pending verification of such a contamination.

    BFAD head Leticia Gutierrez had already assured consumers that they have so far not seen the presence of Salmonella in locally manufactured peanut butter and peanut butter-based products.

    Trade Undersecretary Zenaida Maglaya, also on Monday, said they expect suppliers and importers to undertake a voluntary and automatic recall of the affected products.

    Salmonella is the most common cause of food-borne illnesses and can trigger typhoid fever, stomach pains, cramping and diarrhea. - GMANews.TV

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Apparently it's not peanut butter sold to the public in jars, or harvested peanuts. It's manufactured peanut butter and peanut paste sold to large institutions and manufacturers who use peanut butter and peanut paste in their products.

    Hope this helps unravel things.

  14. I didn't post any lists because those peanut "products" are EVERYWHERE. (Including your local distributors to bakeries etc).
    And people keep getting ill NOT realizing that their little treat is contaminated because it is not on the list.
    Yet.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I dont think they have a freakin clue.. look at the numbers.. You said yourself peanuts are in almost everything these days.. and yet only 1 maybe 2 out breaks in how many states..

    Just doesnt add up to a nationwide issue if you ask me. Now maybe Im being a bit cynical on it all and maybe they are right..

    But I still ask the question... if peanuts are in so many of these products.. and its the peanut butter, then why are the numbers so very spread out..hehe (that one just happened)

    ReplyDelete

  16. Because some (many) people believe they have the flu etc
    Others do not go to the doctor.
    Still others do have that natural immunity.

    And some people simply do not eat peanuts. Many allergies...


    ReplyDelete
  17. You're right. But it appears to only be processed peanut butters and peanut paste. I guess the best thing to do for now is to avoid eating any processed food containing processed peanuts or peanut butter.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Now wait a minute.. these products are in the commercialized versions.. ie hospitals and such.. Now I have a hard time believing that only 1 person in a hospital in Alabama had the peanutbutter and got sick .. and so therefore it is related to this.

    by this theory.. he was the only person to have eaten out of this batch of peanut butter???

    some how.. it just doesnt make sense to me

    ReplyDelete

  19. No.
    But he would have been the one person that had such a severe reaction to it.

    ReplyDelete
  20. From everything I've heard on the news, read in the paper and online it's not PEANUTS - it's peanut butter that has become contaminated with salmonella. And it's coming from one particular processing plant, that manufactures peanut butter for a ton of companies that use it in their products.

    ReplyDelete


  21. Know that many of these companies have not yet jumped on the recall wagon.
    MANY of these recalls are not mandated- not mandatory.
    Yet.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Now .. Im not saying the peanut butter is not bad and that it is not contaminated..
    But they are not conviencing me .. by their numbers and their theories.. It just doesnt pan out for me.

    As much of this stuff that is on the market.. as many people that would supposedly be injesting.. the numbers dont add up

    Just my pea brain.. trying to add it up

    ReplyDelete
  23. Salmonella usually just makes you sick, stomach ache, diarrhea, vomiting, fever, etc. But in the very old and very young, and people with compromised immune systems they can die fro salmonella poisoning.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Even the "Little Debbie" recall was voluntary by McKee.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Kelloggs did a voluntary on crackers too.. I believe they were one of the first who said they used the product.

    But as many of these products that are on the market.. and the number of people who are eating these products...

    ???????????

    ReplyDelete
  26. You don't really need convincing do you?
    I mean it's not like you are going to go out and take any chances by ordering some peanut butter pie.

    If I made anyone even think about their next snack etc, then my little 'warning' above has done some good.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Thank you.

    Everyone is so afraid of salmonella, without realizing that they have probably been infected any number of times in their lives already.

    It 'can be' an awful thing. But in most it is not.

    ReplyDelete

  28. And by Kelloggs recalling that little part of their inventory, I still would not eat any of their cereals that might contain these nuts.

    When it got to kelloggs is when it really made ME think...

    ReplyDelete
  29. Point taken..

    We should all be aware of what we are eating and where it came from regardless of the recalls.

    I have a very weak stomach and just leaving something out toooo long will give me a case of food poisoning.

    ReplyDelete

  30. Remember the days that food sat on the counter all night and no one got sick?
    What the heck happened?

    ReplyDelete

  31. Maybe we could somehow contaminate the salmonella bugs with melamine?

    ;-)


    ReplyDelete
  32. I remember when my grandmother would make dinner and then clean up.. put a sheet or tablecloth over all the leftovers and then that would be supper. I dont recall ever getting sick from it.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oops Sorry
    Kelli called...

    There were things that I had even left on the counter until I had gone for my Wisconsin Restaurant manager license. They had an entire book devoted to food poisonings and all.
    Kind of woke me up a bit- Not that I changed too much.
    Like forgetting to put the ketchup in the fridge. (One could use ketchup instead of embalming fluid).
    Leave the sour cream out overnight? Lord, that's how we used to make it!
    Besides, what's it going to do, get sour?

    Methinks it all goes back to our immune systems.
    Which up until Minnesota, I was darn proud of my own.

    ReplyDelete

  34. But back to the food poisonings too.
    Many poisonings can take up to three weeks to manifest themselves. By that time, there is not a complete or accurate history of food intake. (Another reason why much of this goes unreported, even to the medical profession).
    In the meanwhile a body- especially in this season- can be subjected to many other ills.
    By diagnosing one thing, food poisoning can easily be overlooked or dismissed as something else entirely.




    ReplyDelete
  35. Yep .. Im real bad about not putting the ketchup in the fridge right away. Luckily my immune system is good.. I just have a weak stomach.. and I know its food poisoning because Im sick within 30 minutes of eating. Happens pretty regular.

    ReplyDelete
  36. my Stephie was ill for four days due to the outbreak here. You make a good point annie, most people do not even realize that they have food poisoning , salmonella they think they just have a stomach flu.

    ReplyDelete

  37. Just remember that most food poisonings need time to manifest their symptoms. Like I said, there are a few that take up to three weeks.

    By weak stomach, do you mean you vomit?
    or does it just fall out the other ends quick as can be?



    ReplyDelete
  38. She is lucky that they caught it then.
    How did they treat her? Or did they just let it 'run' its course?

    Especially if she might have had a sore throat and a headache to boot!
    She could have been treated for say, strep, the cure would have helped the poisoning too.
    That's why so much goes unreported.

    Is she all better now?
    Hope so.

    ReplyDelete
  39. They were suppose to cut out a lot of cookies and things like this and even fried french fries...but as you know...there is always a way around things...they bake french fries a couple of days a week and the other three they fry so they were able to keep some of the snacks....go figure that out...they took out the pop machines in the hall so the students couldn't get pop but kept them in the teacher's lounges...as if the kids didn't go in there another joke...but for the children they were able to bring it in home for lunch just not buy at school

    ReplyDelete
  40. Everything is cheap and easy.
    Buyer beware.

    What happened to peeling potatoes? That's what our cooks did.
    Course our cooks always served 'real' food.

    Soda? That's back on the parents then, wouldn't it be?
    Older kids? Then it's just stupidity in this day and age.

    ReplyDelete
  41. LOL Thanks for the laugh!! Hugs to you!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I swear I'm gonna start growing my own food so I don't have to buy commercial anymore...

    Can you tell me HOW the peanut butter became infected with salmonella in the first place??? Why have I always thought that salmonella was related to chicken and chicken products?? Am I just being ignorant on this s(h)ituation??

    ReplyDelete
  43. Umm does bologna count as eating?

    ReplyDelete
  44. I just read an article online (didn't save the link, sorry..) and it's not peanut butter that comes in jars. It is just peanut butter that is put on those stupid yucky peanut butter cracker things. I have a feeling that it's at the plants where these things are made is where the problem is, not the growing process of the peanuts themselves. Just my two cents worth---for what it's worth anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  45. What about yellow snow, is that on the list?

    ReplyDelete
  46. Yep, that would be it! I read somewhere the only way you can be sure it was food poisoning was if you were sick within 30 minutes of eating. That otherwise you couldnt be certain.

    I know when.. because then I cant eat that food for a very long time...some are forever.. in fact .. for me.. frozen dinners of any sort are totally out of the question. I got food poisoning from "lean cusine" and now just walking down that isle in the groceratorium makes me ... well .. its not pleasant!

    ReplyDelete

  47. If you grow your own (hehehe) you still have to be very careful about washing it etc.
    But it is still better than store bought anything!

    Salmonella IS found on fowl and eggs, but can come from lots of foods.

    I will include more info below.

    ReplyDelete

  48. Only if you hit yourself in the head with a shovel.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I think you may be right but either way, it is still contaminated.

    The FDA said today to not eat any foods with peanut butter.

    Guess they are just covering all their bases. (Or maybe they read my blog)!
    hehehe
    I will find the actual quote in a bit, but here is a link to ALL foodborne sicknesses
    Causes of Foodborne Illness Listed in Alphabetical Order
    http://www.cdc.gov/foodborneoutbreaks/foodborne_az.htm

    It is an awesome site from the CDC

    ReplyDelete

  50. Dogs will eat anything. EXCEPT for yellow snow.
    You are welcome to try though.
    hehehe

    Please let us know how that turns out for ya.

    ReplyDelete

  51. Eat. Drink. Smoke. Snort.
    However ingested... well YOU know...

    ReplyDelete

  52. 30 minutes?
    If you are getting sick within 30 minutes, it is probably NOT food poisoning per se. None that I know of would manifest themselves that fast.

    But I know what you mean of not wanting to eat anything that has made a repeat appearance too.
    ugh...

    ReplyDelete
  53. This was posted yesterday:

    "Because identification of products subject to recall is continuing, the FDA urges consumers to postpone eating commercially-prepared or manufactured peanut butter-containing products and institutionally-served peanut butter until further information becomes available about which products may be affected. Efforts to specifically identify those products are ongoing.

    At this time, there is no indication that any national name brand jars of peanut butter sold in retail stores are linked to the PCA recall. As the investigation continues over the weekend, and into next week, the FDA will be able to update the advice based on new sampling and distribution information."

  55. Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

    Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

    For more information on Salmonella, please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Website at http://www.cdc.gov.

  56. They said on NBC tonight that if we buy a jar of peanut butter from the store it is perfectly alright.
    It's the peanut butter that they make in very large batches that they send to Nursing Homes, Hospitals and other institutions and they use it to make cookies, cakes and ice cream. She said that
    you can make your peanut butter sandwiches at home but don't buy anything that was cooked with
    peanut butter outside the home.
    So if we want the cookies, we have to make them at home.
    I don't know if this affects Canada or not, but I think I'll take the precautions before it gets here. :)
    We're not always the first people to get going when something like this comes out, so I'll be the
    smart one this time.
    Hugs & blessings "waving" to you Anna.... :)

    And thanks to CAB's blog the other day, I bought Little Debbie's for the first time in YEARS and ate one.

    Poop.

    hopefully not.

    but poop anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I don't have a thing in the house with peanut butter in it. But all this talk about those peanut butter cookies is sure making me want some!

    But I promise not to eat anything. If I put it in the blender on liquify....does that count? Why do they do these things to us. It only sets off my cravings for them when I know I can't have any. That's as bad as going on a diet! But...better safe than sorry!
