By March 2007, salmonella in Peter Pan peanut butter had sickened 628 people in 47 states and caused the company to shut down its Sylvester, Georgia, manufacturing facility; the contamination was likely due to a leaky roof and faulty sprinklers.
Last week, ConAgra Foods announced the launch of a new line of natural peanut butter spreads from its Peter Pan brand.
The three no-stir varieties are made with 100% natural ingredients and contain no high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, trans fat or preservatives.
Hopefully, or scientifically, they won’t contain any salmonella.
