Salmonella in Peanut Butter Linked to Processing Plant

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finding suggests contamination occurred before product reached
consumers, FDA says

THURSDAY, March1 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. health officials on Thursday
confirmed finding salmonella in samples taken from the Georgia
processing plant linked to contaminated Peter Pan and Great Value peanut
butter.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, inspections of
ConAgra's plant in Sylvester uncovered the same strain of salmonella
found in jars of Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter responsible for
370 cases of salmonella poisoning in 42 states.

"All we know is that we've got salmonella bacteria that we found in the
environment in the facility that matched the same strain that we found
in patients that the states found in jars of peanut butter," said Dr.
David Acheson, the FDA's Director of the Food Safety and Security Staff
in the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.

"The most likely scenario is that the peanut butter became contaminated
sometime during the production, between the roasting process and putting
the product in a jar," Acheson added.

The way the bacteria entered the plant will probably never be known,
Acheson said. "How it got into the environment we'll never know," he
said. "It may have come in on somebody's feet; it's possible there was
somebody in the plant who was sick and didn't know it. But that's pure
speculation."

Although the specific lots of affected peanut butter were recalled, the
FDA learned that ConAgra also sent bulk qualities of Peter Pan peanut
butter to its plant in Humboldt, Tenn. The bulk peanut butter was used
to make three brands of commercial peanut butter topping.

These included Sonic Brand Ready-To-Use Peanut Butter Topping in 6 lb.,
10.5 oz. cans, and Carvel Peanut Butter Topping in 6 lb., 10 oz.
containers. Both fast-food outlets used the topping until Feb. 16 when
the topping was recalled. In addition, the contaminated peanut butter
was also used in J. Hungerford Smith Peanut Butter Dessert Topping in 6
lb., 10 oz. cans, the FDA said.

According to the FDA, the topping was used in the following Sonic
products:

Peanut Butter Shake,
Peanut Butter Fudge Shake,
Peanut Butter Sundae,
Peanut Butter Fudge Sundae.



The topping was used in the following Carvel ice cream products:

Chocolate Peanut Butter,
Peanut Butter Treasure,
Peanut Butter and Jelly,
Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Sundae Dasher.



It is not known if any of the reported cases of salmonella were
connected to the peanut butter topping sent to any of the three
commercial users, Acheson said. "The 370 cases we are aware of are
probably not everybody who got sick. There probably are a lot of other
cases out there and it is possible that some of those individuals got
sick from consuming some of the topping that was used in the Carvel or
Sonic or J. Hungerford Smith product," he said. "I can't rule it out."

Acheson thinks there will be more cases reported over the next few
weeks.

ConAgra has recalled all Peter Pan peanut butter and all Great Value
peanut butter beginning with product code 2111. The recall extends to
products made since December 2005. The FDA's advice to consumers
continues to be not to eat any Peter Pan peanut butter or any Great
Value peanut butter beginning with the 2111 product code.

This salmonella outbreak follows major food-borne illness scares in 2006
involving spinach, tomatoes and iceberg lettuce, and was followed late
last month by recalls of imported cantaloupe, organic baby food and
ready-to-eat chicken breast.

Symptoms of food-borne illness caused by salmonella include fever,
diarrhea and abdominal cramps. In people with poor underlying health or
weakened immune systems, salmonella can invade the bloodstream and cause
life-threatening infections or death.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there
are an estimated 76 million cases of food-borne illness each year in the
United States, the vast majority of which are mild and cause symptoms
that last a day or two. Some cases are more serious, leading to 325,000
hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths annually. The most severe cases tend
to occur in the very old, the very young and those with weakened immune
systems.

you joined 2/25/07 and what did you expect to have already?

I have had several from 23 up to 29, and I must say I loved every minute
of it

I really don't know alot of the states fireworks laws but in Brevard
County I know it is supposed to be illegal to buy or shoot them off
unless they are for scaring birds away, that is the only clause but
people freely buy and sell them all year long here

welcome to JSH Duffy, you know in Florida we call the elderly people
Q-Tips, I mean not to them directly but when talking about them in
general

police, especially in the bigger urban areas, have alot bigger crimes to
worry about than a few fireworks.

locked away in the evidence vault

true jeanc and most of these people have no plans to leave home they
just want the money.

oops as long as there is no court order of custody/visitation whether
it be through a divorce, divorce filing, or custody agreement.

you can move anywhere you want but if you do so he can file for divorce
and custody in the state he is a resident of and make you go back to
fight him, you on the other hand would have to follow the states
guidelins in which you move to and would not be able to file until
proven residency of somewhere around 30 days to 6 months. No he CANNOT
file any charges against you for anything to do with moving away from
him with the child/children. No chance whatsoever.

verb that's what firewalls are for and don't rely on windows firewalls
lol I use software and hardware firewalls, as far a s the weirdos yes
parents are mostly to blame for what happens in their childrens lives
even on the internet, there is so much information out about what goes
on, on the net and people knwo they need to monitor their childrens
activities, it's cheaper to get a keylogging and screenshot program than
to bury you're child.

I would carry into those stores anyhow as long as you got a permit to do
so, I'd much rather the store or law enforcement to catch me with the
gun than some hell bent criminal to catch me without it.

was twho's at fault for the wreck? if it was the truck driver you should
be able to get a nice settlement, if so, use the money for school and
get a desk job, don't just blow it. If not, then it's going to be hard
but you said you had a little help, find an easy part time job
delivering papers or something like that and apply for pell grants,
often you get more than enough for school and you can use the extra
money for bills and such.

yes it is sad and alot of people have died from this, toothaches are not
to be taken lightly I think that's one reason the good lord makes them
so painful, so you will do something about it.

yeah ok the war on terror will never end

this kind of **** is rediculous for a country such as ours

heather actually no, although he does have health problems, his money
flow and level of supporters can keep him well hidden even with his
health issues

many people believe he is being helped by an Iranian group.
