With the recall going on...if you bought tom's or lances, neither product on the recall list so far, but if you bought them just yesterday at the store, would you eat them?
 
I got food poisoning from a peanut butter cookie at a local restaurant. I'd be a little iffy about the crackers.
 
Yes I would. I have individual Jif cups of peanut butter and I am certainly eating them. I ate one yesterday.

The factory with the problem was identified already and it does not make sense to waste food.

It is kind of like everyone putting their dog to sleep because one dog bit someone.
 
I don't eat peanut butter. ACK!

so I guess I don't have to worry about it :)
 
Seems it's kinda fresh:

General Mills recalls 2 peanut butter-flavored products | U.S. | Reuters

Article straight off Reuters said:
General Mills recalls 2 peanut butter-flavored products
Mon Jan 19, 2009 11:30am EST

(Reuters) - General Mills Inc voluntarily recalled two varieties of peanut butter-flavored snack bars, saying peanut butter in the products was sourced from Peanut Corp of America and may be contaminated with salmonella.

U.S. health authorities told consumers on Saturday to avoid eating products that contain peanut butter until they can determine the scope of an outbreak of salmonella food poisoning that may have contributed to six deaths.

General Mills, which also makes Cheerios cereal and Yoplait yogurt, said the products recalled were Larabar Peanut Butter Cookie flavor snack bars and JamFrakas Peanut Butter Blisscrisp flavor snack bars.

A combined 15,000 cases of product were involved, but no illnesses have been reported in connection with either product, the company said in a statement.

No other types, varieties or flavors of Larabar or JamFrakas products are being recalled, the company said, adding that no other General Mills products were involved or impacted.

The company at the center of the peanut butter recall case, Peanut Corporation of America, had said that it had been informed by the Food and Drug Administration that some samples of its products had tested positive for a salmonella strain that may have originated in a Blakely, Georgia, peanut processing plant.

Personally, I use Trader Joe's corp. for any food related produces, so I think generally for the most part their products are free of general human errors and such. I know, there's always that chance.
 
thanks. i hadn't heard of that. just makes me wonder if the peanut butter used in those isnt sold in jars too? i ended up having a jar of the recalled walmart brand peanut butter a couple years ago that con agra put out. ended up cooking with most of that so i got lucky.
 
no, jar peanut butter wasn't the issue this time. Only peanut butter sold to manufacturers of peanut butter items such as Little Debbie snack cakes or Captain Wafers crackers etc...Jar peanut butter and peanuts themselves are not part of this recall this time....so far.

So the question remains...if you bought snack crakers just yesterday at the store...would you eat them today knowing the recall of a peanut butter product used in similiar crackers by similiar companies has a recall of possible seminala poisoning...

Only one way to find out!!

Do you have a compound microscope?

Salmonella seem like bacterial prokaryotic organisms (meaning no nuclei) and seem to have that round oval shape. I guess the colors would stand out if you were to see em?
 
you guys are too funny...a compound microscope...oh wait, just thought of something...what if you were color blind??? LOL!!!
 
Poke 'em with a stick and see if they move around!! If they do.. they're ... ALIVE!
Peanut butter should not be alive!!!
