Peanut Butter Recall Information

Across the country, Americans are still wary of products containing jelly’s sandwich companion. Here is more on the latest peanut butter recall information.

The current food recall involving peanut products for salmonella is one of the largest in the nation’s history. Dr. David Acheson, M.D. is the Associate Commissioner for Foods at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

If you get exposed to salmonella, you will develop symptoms in 24 to 48 hours. You’ll feel generally lousy; you may get a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain. If you’re young, elderly, immune compromised, it can be a lot more serious. There’s risk of dehydration, risk of salmonella getting into the bloodstream and obviously as we’ve seen by this outbreak, leading to very serious illness or death.
