Peanut, nut butter recall expandedIf you were checking the peanut butter in your pantry after a large recall was announced a couple of weeks ago, you may want to take another peek. More products are being recalled. On September 24, Sunland, Inc. recalled all products manufactured at their Portales, New Mexico, processing plant with a "best if used by" date between May 1, 2012, and September 24, 2012. Now all products made at this peanut butter and nut manufacturing facility going back as far as March 2010 and September 24, when the plant was shut, are being recalled. The CDC is reporting that the number of people sickened by these products has risen to 35, up from 30 last week. Health officials in Washington state have traced the same strain of salmonella that sickened 35 people nationwide to an open jar of Trader Joe’s Valencia Creamy Peanut Butter collected from the home of one of the people infected. This firmly establishes a link between a specific Sunland product and this salmonella outbreak, something the company spokeswoman Katalin Coburn said hadn't been established by last week. FDA inspectors have also found salmonella on surfaces at the Sunland processing plant, although further testing is required to confirm if it's the same strain of Salmonella, called Bredeney, that has infected nearly three dozen people in 19 states and has led to eight hospitalizations so far. Coburn tells CNN that Sunland is complying with all FDA recommendations and that the plant is "under a complete clean-up procedure." "We hope to be up and running as soon as we get the all-clear," she added. In addition to 101 products already recalled since September 24, 49 more products whose "best if used by” dates have not yet expired and 90 types of Sunland products which may have gone past their “best if used by” may still be in people's homes. Consumers are being urged to dispose of any remaining jars of Sunland, Inc., products in the home or return them to the place of purchase. A full list of all voluntarily recalled products can be found here. Consumers can also contact Sunland by calling 1-866-837-1018 for more information on the recall.

Not a big peanut butter fan so nothing to worry about here.
Great, thanks for the update on your food likes. I'm sure everyone will sleep better knowing you're not in danger.
@Joe Funniest thing I've read all day, thanks for the laugh!
Joe, can't believe you took the time to reply to this nut.
I had jello today
Dave, what's up with the name calling, would't you're reply to joe be kind of like his reply to me ? DOLT!
The only brand I buy is Skippy (smooth). And the jar I have was made over a year ago...good until 2013.
WOW! Wouldn't it be GREAT if our tax dollars went to pay a highly specialized, well-funded, non-corruptible agency to provide regular oversight, inspection, and management of food processing centers? It would reduce the ever-rising number of tainted foodborne illness all across America! All we have now is the USDA and the FDA, and both appear to me to have been bought out by the Corporatocracy, when I conduct research into their staffing and performance histories.

Hmmm. So you think there's something wrong with an agency that can detect 30 cases of illness spread across an entire continent and millions of patients, determine the precise source and cause of the illness and take regulatory action, all within a matter of days, is somehow at issue?
Dave, I can't beleive that I took the time to reply to your reply to Joe's reply to this nut.
My name is nut butter...peanut nut butter.
My friends told me about HotBlackwhite. C.0.Mtold It’s the best place to meet black white singles. Come in and stay a while. Complete your profile. Post a message, a picture of yourself and check out the photo galleries. Give it a try, you will find someone you like there... 😉
Yeah- its all about you, right? Self absorbed POS.
Choosy moms choose Jif
Seriously...it really is the Jiffiest.
What do jiffy moms choose?
Not really all peanuts, lots of sweet gunk.
cool story bro
4chan is over that way, sonny. (points)
they'll change ownership, change names and re-open as a new business...all the while continuing to run their business in a way that shows consumer health is not their concern. this is what big business is like...and why more regulation of these goons is needed.
Yeah, we need someone to regulate the food we eat! ... Oh wait...isn't that what the Food and Drug Administration is for?
"this is what big business is like" When this happened to Peter Pan©, they had a leaky roof that kept getting the raw peanuts moldy. They closed the plant and remodeled, making the peanut butter in another state, and then reopened in a new and cleaner plant. Not everyone fits your stereotypes, and cleanliness is the rule rather than the exception in food manufacturing.
let's outlaw all corporations and also make it illegal to profit from selling anything. that would be great for the economy and human progress.
Sometimes government is a good thing... the FDA, for example.
You must be one of those RINOs I've heard about.
"Sometimes government is a good thing... the FDA, for example." Ron Paul says the free market will take care of this because there is no market for tainted peanut butter and therefore no one will buy it, so who needs an FDA? Yet another reason not to vote for that crank.
Its peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time,
Whayee, Whayee, Whayee Whayee
Now there you go, there you go, there you go, there you go
peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly
Thanks.....now I got that song in my head.....lol
now break it down and freeze!
Peanut butter jelly, Peanut butter jelly, Peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat.
peanut, nut butter....not to be mistaken with DUCK BUTTER
Duck butter?
Duck Butter on the geef is the worst.
Maybe people are getting sick because it's OLD. It is October last time I checked
I checked my peanut butter, and all I saw was the middle part was missing....I'll ask my husband what that's all about.....
BAHAHAHA!
My cousin's son is very allergic to any kind of nut. Who among you likes to eat peanut butter out of the jar (the truth now). As for the rest of you, the squirrels are looking for you.
Nancy – maybe your husband felt there wasn't enough nut in the peanut butter.
Honestly, I didn't mind when people told me there was rat poo in peanut butter. That's just like telling people there's pig anus in bologna. It's still yummy and cheap. Sometimes you look passed those things.... but I dont get why I can eat five-day-old VERY questionable chicken and not get sick. But others eat spinach or peanut butter once and die! Guess that just makes me awesome.....or disgusting lol
Eat me.
I think I'll stick to pig anus lol
I blame Obama for this.
of course you do
No, blame Jimmy Carter. After all, his family is/was in peanuts. Wait, let's just blame it on ALL Democrats. There is a reason why the icon for Democrat is a seven letter word for donkey.
Thank goodness, my China peanut butter is safe.
Um....put some Chinese honey on it. Yummy
Die, humans, die. We vegetables will get you all in the end.
Oh c'mon now! How can you be angry with a nice smiley peanut guy with oversized 80's glasses and giving the peace sign?
He looks like he's ready to party.
Those are 1920's glases
Does it count if you rub it all over yourself???????????
My nut butter has never been tainted.
So, what did you die from, Mr. Holmes?
Thank goodness I only eat hardly-natural and over-processed Jif! I only need to worry about the stray rat hair. Adds flavor!
Actually...sometimes I eat Skippy, too! I like the colors of the jars. THAT is how you pick peanut butter!!
You people have WAY too much time on your hands.
I have way too much something on my hands. It's sticky but it's not peanut butter.
I think it's taint butter because I like to examine it frequently.
I've donated all my recalled butter to the food shelf. it pains me too much to just throw it away.
Make the seller take it back!
It's Obama's fault! Why not everything else is Obama's fault. Vote for Romney if you want safe peanut butter!
Hmmm, I wonder if I can still find some on the shelves. I'll put it all the mousetraps that the mice keep stealing the bait from without getting caught. That'll serve 'em right! : D
I dnt think much of that company. And thanks for the heads up on the peanut butter recall.
Salmonella /ˌsælməˈnɛlə/ is a genus of rod-shaped, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, predominantly motile enterobacteria with diameters around 0.7 to 1.5 µm, lengths from 2 to 5 µm, and flagella that grade in all directions (i.e., peritrichous). They are chemoorganotrophs, obtaining their energy from oxidation and reduction reactions using organic sources, and are facultative anaerobes. Most species produce hydrogen sulfide,[1] which can readily be detected by growing them on media containing ferrous sulfate, such as TSI. Most isolates exist in two phases: a motile phase I and a nonmotile phase II. Cultures that are nonmotile upon primary culture may be switched to the motile phase using a Cragie tube.[citation needed]
Salmonella is closely related to the Escherichia genus and are found worldwide in cold- and warm-blooded animals (including humans), and in the environment. They cause illnesses such as typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, and foodborne illness.[2]
I only eat SKIPPY'S!!!!!!! ANyone who eats anyother brand DESERVEs to DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why not sweeten your own peanut butter with jam rather than paying peanut prices for cheap corn syrup.

Bow now at my superior feets and give massage!!!!
HEY! You got peanut butter on my chocolate.....NO! You got chocolate on my peanut butter!
I am glad that we dnt have any peanut butter at the moment
Thanks to the reporters and the person who put the link to the full list into the story. Turns out I had one of the recall items. Yikes!! Out it goes.....
whats worse, the farmer cutting out the process of properly cleaning their product for consumers or the tax funded government department that is supposed to protect the consumer, allowing the process to continue???? Have you noticed how many cases of outbreaks of unclean food/produce in the last 3 to 5 years. how many more sick or deaths will it take. I realize the down turn of the econamy has hit the farmer hard but it's effects are felt everywhere and everyone. At least start washing all raw produce from the market.
The contamination may have occurred at the processing plant.
Peanut butter was, until recently a staple for the poor. However, speculators pushed its price out of sight because of a slight yield dip and it is unlikely to come down. The result is that the product is only used by the wealthy and by people who do not budget their food stamps. However, most brands, including Skippy, are filled with corn syrup. So, there are two products, healthy peanut butter and the more common sugary stuff with peanut butter added. The latter should not be available for food stamps. I am certain you cannot by chocolate candies with food stamps. Why can you buy this sweet glop with them?
You certainly can buy chocolate with food stamps. I have seen it.
No this particular food poisoning breaks out when workers do not wash their hands after restroom breaks. It is poo bacteria, and, old or new I do not want to eat it.
Sorry, it could be from rats in their storage bins.
Penguins don't eat peanut butter. But they do eat jelly.
Have doctors also looked at the physical traits of the patients? 35 people out of 300 million doesn't seem to be sufficient to waste so much food and impact everyone else. This is orders of magnitude lower than 1% of he population, even if you don't assume that 100% of the population eats peanut butter (which many don't or can't). People get tummy aches everyday. If our society continues to become completely reliant on sterile food and water, and lets our immune systems become so weak, then we are in big trouble.
Has anyone considered terrorists poisoning our food systems. Seems like an awful lot of recalls lately.
Lol! They said "nut butter".
Hiya very cool web site!! Man .. Beautiful .. Wonderful .. I'll bookmark your website and take the feeds additionally?I am glad to find a lot of useful info here within the publish, we'd like work out more techniques on this regard, thank you for sharing. . . . . .
FDA needs to investigate what's being added to peanut butter. I have two children that can't eat peanut butter because they have allergic reaction to it. But both can eat peanut with no reaction. Both can eat with butter, canola oil, vegetable oil and no problem.
Something is getting added to peanut butter and making a lot of Americans allergic to it.

The first thing required by the food stamp office is an application. Most counties have an online application process. The electronic application allows the process to get started the moment the application is submitted. Paper applications will be accepted, but the process will take longer than an electronic application. Most food stamp offices have computers available for applicants filling out electronic applications. Workers will be available on hand to answer any questions about the application you may have. :-
Have a nice day
