Salmonella Outbreak Update
The Food and Drug Administration has a website where consumers can search for information on foods recalled because of potential Salmonella contamination.
You can search by brand name, UPC, product description (for example, crackers with peanut butter), or any combination of the three.
The FDA has traced the source of Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak to peanut butter and peanut paste manufactured by the Peanut Corporation of America in their plant in Blakely, Georgia. The FDA recommends that consumers avoid all commercially-produced food made with peanut butter until more information is known about the extent of contamination.
