Peanut Butter Recall Now Includes Sonic products and Carvel Ice Cream

This just in from FDA... Salmonella was found in the ConAgra Peanut Butter Plant in Georgia and it matches the strain found in the Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter recovered from consumers and the strain found in the consumers who recently became ill.

And now there are more products that might be affected by this salmonella contamination. The ConAgra plant in Sylvester, GA, also sent some of its Peter Pan peanut butter in bulk to its plant in Humboldt, TN, which makes certain peanut butter toppings. These brands have been recalled and are no longer being sold but the FDA advises that some consumers may still have these products in their home.

[Consumers who have any of the products listed below should discard them. Individuals who are not sure if the purchased product contains the recalled peanut butter topping should contact the store where the product was purchased.]
