Wow. I just ate 2 peanut butter sandwiches literally 3 minutes before reading this thread. I just checked my peanut butter's product code and - you guessed it - started with 2111.

I'm fixin' to get me the typhoid.

Well, anyway, thanks for the heads-up. I'm throwing out my jar.

I just looked on my Peter pan brand too and it says 2111. I have ate some of it but not alot, and haven't gotten sick so far, but I'm gonna throw it away anyway.

ANYONE IN THE FORUM WANTING THE SCREEN NAME UNREGISTERED LOG ONTO EBAY AND LOOK FOR MY AUCTION. THE NAME WILL BECOME AVAILABLE SHORTLY!

kinda fascinating that this has been playing out since AUGUST.

also, salmonella is quite unpleasant (I've had it or something like it mor ethan once), to indulge in understatement, but most of us between 15-40 won't die from it, especially if you take a couple steps to mitigate its symptoms (which combine to result in severe dehydration)/

as an aside, isn't peter pan basically the national brand with the most added sugars? time to switch anyway.....

Re:

Also...

Hydrogenated Oils are bad. Mmmm kay?

Don't have them, in ANYTHING, especially PB, which is normally healthy in NATURAL form. Many PB's are natural and can be found at supermarkets. Also, trader joe's has natural PB for only a buck or 2 more than the crap, unhealthy version found in supermarkets.

Switch for your health. Not eating something bad now means longevity and better quality of life down the road, and prevention of the onset of any dibilitating diseases.

clarification: the problem is partially hydrogenated oil, which is high in transfats. fully hydrogenated oils are nearly transfat free, and are converted by your body into equivalents of both saturated & monounsaturated fats. so, current science says that there's nothing wrong with fully hydrogenated oils, if anything they're a little better for you than straight up saturated fats.

my last jar of natural peanut butter was full of palm oil -- nearly straight up saturated fat, and environmentally a mess too (they're clearing large swaths of Indonesian & Malaysian forests to plant more palm trees, among other places). and a lot of them are sweetened by honey. what i'm saying is that some natural pbs are better than others. I'm a fan of WBA's suggestion: get the stuff that's basically straight up peanuts & you have to mix yourself.

Yesterday I check the Ingles store paper for sales and I see that the Peter Pan peanut butter is buy one get one free. Now keep in mind this is before I hear the news on the recall. So I go to the store and I find the Peter Pan sold out and I think dam others around here must really like peanut butter and the Peter Pan brand so I pick up the Ingles brand and go on with my shopping.

I come home and hear on the news that there is a recall on Peter Pan and Great Value Peanut Butter and to check the code on the lid and if it starts with 2111 throw the peanut butter out and keep the lid if you've been sicken.

Now for the wierd part last week I bought my 80 year old dad who has a sensitive degestive system and loves peanut butter like theres no tomorrow and I check the lid and the numbers 2111 are there and the jar has about 4 tablespoons left and dad had just fixed himself a sandwich and I ask him have you had any problems what so ever lately with having to go to the bathroom etc., while he's taking a big bite out of the sandwich and he says no. Also I eat a sandwich last week from this 2111 Great Value brand and have not had any problems and dad had finished the jar out this morning.

I normally eat all natural but dam everything thats natural is to dam high priced so I switch every now and then and buy store brands and when on sale brands like Peter Pan or none at all.

Anyway, over 300 plus people have been sicken before this recall and really makes you think hard in just how safe is our food chain these days and I mean not after the fact when they have recalls but right now. So looking back the selves were empty because of the recall and not because of the sale.

I came here and was going to post the recall and saw this thread had already been started which is good but I thank God all is well with dad and me even though the jar had the 2111 number so I reckon not everyone comes down with this sickness and hope no one here who has this 2111 code on theirs comes down sick.

Be well,

Before this i had no idea one could get salmonella from peanut butter.

I thought eggs and chickens were the main items to be worried about.

My dad caught Salmonella from some weird folk remedy about 15 yrs ago.

After all was said and done, he wore a distinguishable path in the carpet that led to the bathroom.

He was sick as a dog

From what I hear this is a first of its kind finding this in peanut butter I mean if it's so whats this say about our food and how its processed?

My brother had a jar of this 2111 too and threw his out and no one in his household became ill.

I've just heard through the grapevine that ConAgra is recalling all lots of Peter Pan peanut butter manufactured since sometime in 2005.

It WAS peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time! (sorry, couldn't resist).

I had salmonella once.

It sucks. I was a time bomb -- releasing poo poo's everywhere! It SUCKS!
