Peanut Butter Recall Expands - Check Your Pantry!

As the FDA tries to track down what foods are affected by the recent salmonella outbreak, more and more foods are being added to the list of possibly contaminated foods. I've seen recommendations that you throw away all foods that are made with peanut butter, until the FDA is able to narrow down the source of the outbreak.

Just yesterday, salmonella was confirmed in a package of Kellogg's Toasty Crackers with Peanut Butter.

Since may childcare providers offer snacks for the children in their care, check your pantry and throw away any foods that have peanut butter as an ingredient. As far as I've heard, jars of peanut butter are not affected.

Whenever anyhting like this happens, I believe that the cliche of it's better to be safe than sorry holds true. I would rather throw away a perfectly good package of crackers than serve tainted food to our children.
