Dead rodents, excrement in peanut butter plant lead to recall

The FDA is worthless in most situations. Like the U.N.

don't we have the FDA to prevent this? am I being naive?

i stick to soy-nut butter. i never liked the taste of peanuts

And I just started eating PB&J sandwiches again...

time to get our hands dirty and put in a garden if you don't grow it yourself I can't recamend eating it or smokeing it. help save yourself grow your own fruits and vegatables and herbs

No biggie, there's a little bit of rat feces in all out food- from ground beef to corn flakes.

You pretty much have to grow your own food for it to be clean.

Well, Skippy (Unilever) says they don't "source Skippy peanut butter or other products (or any ingredients contained therein) from Peanut Corporation of America (PCA), nor do our contract manufacturers."
Jif says: "Our Jif peanut butter brand and peanut butter products are safe for consumption."
Smucker says:"The J. M. Smucker Company does not purchase peanuts or any ingredients from Peanut Corporation of America."
Knowing how eminently honest reliable these mega food- factory corporations are, and always have been, I guess I'll just have to take their word for product safety. (Actually, probably not.)
(Hmmm, that was extra special crunchy...)
But still, I find peanut butter useful and the larger corporations are actually more likely to have take this kind of threat to their bottom line seriously.
If this leads to a temporary clean-up in factory food standards it would be a good outcome.
Still, I like the idea of knowing and growing my own food source. It's a heck of a lot of work, but what isn't?
I'm waiting on my almond trees to produce; do peanuts grow in coastal California?

And the guy that owns this company refuses to answer any questions. He's pleading the 5th so he doesn't incriminate himself. How sad?

My little sister lives off peanut butter. To make it worse, she lives in Kentucky where all that peanut butter was sent in relief kits after the storm. I'm so glad she didn't get sick.

Someone needs to take responsibility for this. I don't know about you people, but I want answers.

If you use peanut butter to bait your mouse trap you don't need the trap anymore...Just put the peanut butter out....

is it really that hard to follow proper regulations so that you dont get yourself in a bind such as this?

someone in that company is gonna lose more then a job.

I'm hoping this doesn't affect my teddy natural's PB. I don't think I'd give it up, rat feces or otherwise.

Hm, this is a peanut PLANT. So anything that uses peanuts would be potentially hazardous, which is uh, mostly everything. So everyone don't eat. Also, don't go outside your house because everyone is probably zombified from the mutant rat strain of bubonic plague. We should probably just kill ourselves now so we don't become zombie food....you first.

I'm just hoping they are not the bubonic plague infected rodents that escaped from the NJ lab.

It comes in wheat bread and cereal already so why bother?

ive been anti-peanut butter since i was a kid im glad its finally paid off.

effing disgusting!
is this the story that was ignored by so many americans a few weeks ago because they felt that the michael phelps story was more interesting/important?

Let's all just make our own PB from scratch!
Almond butter is also a good alternative.

Disgusting. But I mostly stick to Nutella and jelly sandwiches.

Sadness I will never be able to eat peanut butter again :(

Damn, son. I had one a few days back too. Hope it's safe in Cali Bay Area, though.

No joke, I just finished a PB&J sandwich.

The peanut butter is floating around my mouth,

mmmmm rat feces.
