January 18, 2009

Well folks, another Salmonella outbreak. The source of the outbreak is from the Peanut Corporation of America plant based in Blakely, Ga

The Food and Drug Administration says Americans should “postpone” eating cookies, crackers, candy and ice cream that contain peanut butter or peanut paste while the agency works to establish which products are tainted with the strain of salmonella typhimurium which has sickened 474 people nationwide and is implicated in six deaths.
