Update: Peanut Butter Product Recall

According to the FDA website, "On January 28, PCA issued an expanded voluntary recall of all peanuts and peanut products processed in its Blakely, Georgia facility since January 1, 2007. " That's a long time! I'm going to check my pantry & just dump all the peanut related items I have.

And the list of products on the recall list is growing - some don't even have peanuts or peanut butter, such as Kellogg's Keebler 2.5 oz. Soft Batch Homestyle Chocolate Chunk and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies "Best-by" June 30, 2009 and Special K Protein™ Meal Bar Honey Almond variety only, 6-count and 8-count packages, with a “Best If Used Before” date prior to February 1, 2010. Kellogg's press release says, "Although these products do not contain any peanut ingredients from Peanut Corporation of America, they were produced at another company’s facility on the same line as products that were made for other companies using potentially contaminated PCA ingredients. For that reason, this voluntary recall is being issued out of an abundance of caution."
