Update: Several other brands that purchased peanut butter ingredients from the Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) have issued similar recalls. More about the peanut butter recall here.
The cause of a recent nation-wide salmonella outbreak may have been solved after King Nut, an Ohio-based peanut butter distributor, found salmonella bacteria in an open five-pound tub of peanut butter.
No other King Nut products have been included in this recall, although King Nut does sell other peanut-butter products, such as Peanut Butter Filled Pretzels. The peanut butter distributed by King Nut Companies was manufactured for them by Peanut Corporation of America. This manufacturer also makes peanut butter under the Pannel’s Pride brand, and King Nut is not the only distributor of their products.
The CDC said on Friday that 399 salmonella cases had been confirmed nationally, with about one in five of the victims hospitalized. California has reported the most cases, with 55, followed by Ohio with 53 salmonella cases reported in this recent outbreak.
I think that the makers of King Nut peanut butter shoud stop making King Nut peanut butter.
Whose with me?
umm…. it’s not SOLVED until
A. all the bad product is recalled
B. we understand in detail how the contamination happened, and
C. we take appropriate steps to see that the same thing doesn’t happen again
Chainsaw how nice of you to drop by and show everyone how intellectually superior you are insomuch that you are able to dissect a headline and critique its implied meaning as if it were supposed to be read literally.
You should also tell the New York Times that their recent headline “Obama to Close Foreign Prisons and Guantánamo Camp” is inaccurate unless President Obama himself is going to go to every single foreign prison to close them down in person. Otherwise it should have been “Obama Signs Executive Order Regarding the Closing of Some Foreign Prisons and the Guantánamo Camp”. That is a much worse headline, but at least it makes better sense eh?
