We learned in the news yesterday of yet another peanut-products recall. This time, the processing plant involved is in Plainview, Texas. It’s owned by Peanut Corporation of America (PCA), the same folks who brought us tainted peanuts in their Blakely, Georgia plant. That recall was in January of this year. Perhaps you remember it? A brief peanut scare swept the nation, with many of us under the misapprehension that peanut butter itself was all we had to worry about.
Are there any contaminated peanut products in this cupboard? The only way to know is to check the list.
Well, think again, America. The FDA has published a long list for us to check. And check we should, as no major peanut butter brands are even on it. The dangerous “peanut” foods turn out to be ice cream, ice cream cones, candy, cereal, pet foods, cookies… all sorts of non-peanuty items that this consumer (and apparently many others) didn’t know about.
Now, if you or your loved one has a peanut allergy, you’re way ahead of the rest of the nation in understanding which foods to watch out for. But the rest of us are not so savvy. CBS News yesterday posted a fascinating poll that shows how poor is our understanding of the problem.
So, do yourself and your loved ones a favor. If you haven’t read the list, take a good, long look. Check your cupboards. Check your freezer. Check your refrigerator. And check your supply of pet food. With more 666 cases of salmonella and 9 deaths attributed to the peanut problem as of today, this problem is truly a serious one.
You may live far from the PCA plants in Texas and Georgia. You may even live in California or Hawaii or Maine. Wherever you are, you are likely to be affected, as so far, there have been cases of peanut-based salmonella in 45 states.
Cases Infected with the Outbreak Strain of Salmonella Typhimurium, United States, by State, as of February 22, 2009 at 9pm ET (n=666) Source: FDA.gov
Don’t count on the press to inform you of all the latest news on the topic. We happened to find out about the second recall in a post on DallasNews.com. There was nary another story to be found through our Google search yesterday. Several posts are up today.
By the time we read the article, our neighborhood store had already pulled the offending products. “But,” we asked, “what about the items that had already been purchased?” Our local store department manager told us consumers could “bring them in for a full refund.” Small comfort if the consumers don’t even know they have tainted products.
Buyer beware; you’re practically on your own. This isn’t just a sensational story we can take lightly. It’s the real deal. So check the FDA list below. Better yet, bookmark the FDA Peanut Butter and other Peanut Containing Products Recall List. Check it often. Your family’s food safety is up to you.
And to our Canadian neighbors, please accept an apology from your southern friends. The peanut recall has affected you, too. You may have thought you could trust food products from the USA. We thought we could, but we were wrong. Please check your own Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s Complete List of Products recalled due to the PCA salmonella contamination. It’s a long one, too.
