I just read how our esteemed Melissa Tanner may have fallen victim to the recent salmonella outbreak associated to certain peanut butter, peanut paste and peanut ingredients in common food products.
In an effort to help our masses, I have pasted below a live link to the official US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) web page that lists all peanut product recalls and also has a convenient search feature. The list is quite comprehensive and includes products you may not suspect like cake, cookies, ice cream, etc.
The main FDA information page on the salmonella outbreak contains wide ranging information on topics such as reporting a complaint, news updates, as well as information on salmonella itself and can be found here: http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/salmonellatyph.html
Please take a moment to check if any peanut related food items in your possession are on the recall list - it could save you unnecessary illness.

Yes, be careful- and not just of the brands that have already been recalled. I've been dealing with horrible food poisoning this week and am convinced that it's related to a peanut butter Power Bar I ate on Monday night. Power Bars haven't been recalled, but I reported my case to their consumer hotline... This is the sickest I've been in years and it's rendered me pretty useless in terms of training. Everybody needs to be healthy with the big XC race coming up!
ReplyDeleteI just sent a box of Luna bars to PACERS...
ReplyDeleteHa, that's like something out of a Revenge of the Nerds movie Jake...
ReplyDeleteThis probably all happened when Puck on The Real World was sticking his fingers in the peanut butter jar.
You laugh, but you, Kip, Berdan et al soon won't be...
ReplyDeleteAccording to the FDA, peanut butter in a jar is safe. I ate a peanut butter sandwich the other day and (knock on wood) I'm healthy.
ReplyDeleteIf you eat it it'll make you tougher.
ReplyDeleteBy the way I live on Peanut Butter Luna bars. Haven't had to buy food since June...
ReplyDeleteOh, Matias, you are tempting fate... or at least tempting me to feed you one of my Power Bars- I still have the box;-)
