<p>You might want to toss it.
[FDA</a> Investigates Multistate Outbreak of Salmonella Bredeney Infections Linked to Peanut Butter made by Sunland Inc.](<a href=“http://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodSafety/CORENetwork/ucm320413.htm#recalled]FDA”>http://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodSafety/CORENetwork/ucm320413.htm#recalled)</p>

<p>The major brands – Skippy, Jif – have not been implicated.</p>

<p>I’ve mostly bought Adams for 35 years, so I forget that there are still brands with transfats.
And you are correct that Adams, skippy& Jif aren’t on the list. But I’ve also bought store brands like Trader Joes & Whole foods which are, & snack packs like Justin’s.</p>

<p>Thanks for posting this ek4 - I’m not, but H and D are huge peanut butter fans so it’s nice to have reference to the above link. It was a blow to them to not be able to have their daily fix of TJ peanut butter with the flaxseeds. </p>

<p>D has so many food allergies/severe intolerances that she was relying on the TJ peanut butter on ricecakes. A lot of the other peanut butters such as Jif, Skippy have way too much sugar in them.</p>

<p>We eat Parker Farms, which had a listeria recall a couple of years ago. It took quite a while for us to go back to it… but it is the best tasting. Ironically, we also eat a lot of Trader Joe’s almond butter (crunch salted), but so far it is not on the recall list…</p>

<p>^^^Actually, Trader Joe’s almond butter with roasted flaxseeds, crunchy & salted, IS on the list. We are about 1/2 way through the jar with the matching UPC #. We are not sick. Does this mean it’s safe to continue to eat it?</p>

<p>Why take chances of a few dollars worth of product?</p>

<p>If the UPC matches just bring the jar back to your TJ’s and they should give you your money back. Nothing wrong with a free half-jar of peanutbutter, even if it might be tainted with some salmonella. ;)</p>

<p>I only use Teddie Super Crunch. Try it, you’ll like it! :D</p>

<p>Trader Joe’s here, but not organic, so we’re in the clear.</p>

<p>Whew!</p>

<p>Trader Joes almond butter + flaxseed: I LOVE that one, but our TJ’s no longer sold those. Maybe this salmonella thing is why.</p>

12

<p>I’ve always used the Smucker’s - no sugar, reduced fat but recently tried Whole Foods own brand-really good. I recommend.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>But I think if it does NOT have the flaxseeds (just crunchy & salted) it is not part of the recall. They seem to be listing each type separately.</p>

<p>We eat MaraNantha All Natural No-Stir peanut butter. It is wonderful.</p>

<p>intparent - as a safety precaution the manufacturer will recall x# of batches before and after the contaminated batch. I have had salmonella poisoning (2 bucket illness) and would toss out anything suspicious.</p>
