Dude it was one 5lb bucket of PB. They put out APB bc of one tub... and the seal was cracked. Don't send everyone into a panic here...

Umm it actually is a big deal esp for those of us that feed BP to our children. Thank jenniferthepennifer.

 It's PB, and yeah yeah it's a big deal; the majority of people who think this is that big of a deal would never ever ever get salmonella, and I think if you opened a jar of anything and saw the protective seal was cracked, ripped, torn, you would have the common sense to toss it right? SO.....

Wow a bit cranky today?

There are 49 states reporting illness, 9 dead so better safe than sorry, and I don't see any widespread panic just warnings to stay away from products made with peanut butter, including ice cream, cakes, cookies, crackers.

They are pulling the pb crackers out of the store shelves in my state, so why wouldn't a mother toss out the ones she has on her shelf?

Thanks Bagga and Chantale... and to add, I wasn't trying to send people into panic mode - my main thought was that $8 I'm out for the HUGE box I bought from Costco! I thought if people were going to toss out food, they may want a number to see if they could get reimbursed.  I don't know about you but I don't make enough money to just throw it away.

from everything i have heard, and i'm not an expert or haven't done too much research, the peanut butter in question is from peanutbutter containing products, not peanut butter in itself. It's not the jar of peanut butter to worry about, but the peanut butter crackers and cookies and such. Or that's my understanding from everything i've heard so far

we had to take my favorite peanut butter ice creams off the line at my work today :( boo no more reeses peanut butter cup ice cream for a while. hahaha.
