Kellogg pulls crackers after recall (Austin and Keebler brands.)

[jeff of pa]

ROANOKE, Va. (AP) -- A peanut butter maker that sells bulk supplies to institutions issued a nationwide recall as officials on Wednesday reported two more deaths associated with a salmonella outbreak. Its client Kellogg Co. later asked stores to stop selling a variety of peanut butter crackers.

Lynchburg-based Peanut Corp. of America issued the recall late Tuesday for 21 lots of peanut butter made since July 1 at its plant in Blakely, Ga., because of possible salmonella contamination. The company supplies peanut paste to Kellogg, which on Wednesday asked stores nationwide to pull peanut butter crackers sold under the Austin and Keebler brands.

I think the immigrants have taken most of the canning and picking jobs in the U.S.A.
I've herd some stories on what go's on at the canneries and I don't eat much canned foods anymore.WE shared a garden last year.First time in many years.

Kellogg's recalls more peanut butter products

WASHINGTON (AP) -- What began as an investigation of bulk peanut butter shipped to nursing homes and institutional cafeterias has broadened with the Kellogg Co. recalling 16 products and federal officials confirming salmonella contamination at a Georgia facility that ships peanut products to 85 food companies

The nationwide salmonella outbreak has sickened hundreds of people in 43 states and killed at least six.

The recall includes Austin and Keebler branded Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers, as well as some snack-size packs of Famous Amos Peanut Butter Cookies and Keebler Soft Batch Homestyle Peanut Butter Cookies.

The investigation includes not just peanut butter, but baked goods and other products that contain peanuts and are sold directly to consumers. Health officials say as many as one-third of the people who got sick did not recall eating peanut butter.

This is precisely the type of fear-mongering that will destroy our society.
Everyone suspicious of everything else.

I just read of natural hot springs that harbor a very deadly virus, to some people.
Death is unpleasant, and swift.

Main Stream Media just loves this kinda stuff!

What r u gonna do?

In my teen years we used to go to a hotspring & skinneydip. The officials got tired of "the problems" and started a campaign in the local papers saying people were getting venerial diseases from the hot springs. One of the University professors that used to show up to take a dip got so pissed he spent 4 days taking water samples every hour & testing them. Seems the officials weren't aware that the water temp was high enough to kill any sort of germ or bacteria. Kinda funny how some people take everything "officials" say as gospel.

Remember, worrying about every little thing that comes along wil leave you with nothing but ulcers.

The Kellogg Co., which listed Peanut Corp. as one of its suppliers, has recalled 16 products. They include Austin and Keebler branded Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers, and some snack-size packs of Famous Amos Peanut Butter Cookies and Keebler Soft Batch Homestyle Peanut Butter Cookies. Health officials said consumers who have bought any of those products should throw them away.

Peanut Corp. has recalled all peanut butter produced at the Georgia plant since Aug. 8 and all peanut paste produced since Sept. 26. The plant passed its last state inspection this summer, but recent tests have found salmonella.

Health officials are focusing on 30 companies out of a total of 85 that received peanut products from the Georgia plant. Sundlof said Peanut Corp. is a relatively small supplier on the national scene.

The Midwest supermaket chain Hy-Vee Inc. of West Des Moines, Iowa, said Saturday it was voluntarily recalling products made in its bakery departments with peanut butter because they had the potential to be contaminated with salmonella. The recall covered seven states: Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Minnesota.

Perry's Ice Cream Co., based in Akron, N.Y., said it was recalling select ice cream products containing peanut butter because of the PCA investigation. Its recall covered New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia

The CDC said the bacteria behind the outbreak - typhimurium - is common and not an unusually dangerous strain but that the elderly or those with weakened immune systems are more at risk.

I was gettin' kinda worried about them pnuts I ate last night... made me kinda gassy... but it mighta been the budweiser. I will stay away from them little elves and trolls, though. what if I drown 'em in bud quickly?

Here's the hot springs critter for boogeyman..

....Rare but nasty risk lurks in hot springs


Lisa Fernandez, a Web designer and hot springs enthusiast, often makes the trek across two miles of shrub-strewn California high desert to the pools of steaming water. She believes the payoff is worth it: a day of soaking in undeveloped, natural hot springs in the shade of pine and willow trees at the foot of the San Bernardino Mountains.

But just as nature lovers swarm to Deep Creek and other rustic hot-water oases to stave off the chills of winter, a spate of tainted-water fatalities and related studies have raised questions about the health risks of soaking in hot springs.

In April, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention assigned a team of scientists and physicians to study a recent spike in deaths caused by Naegleria fowleri, an amoeba found naturally in bodies of warm, fresh water, such as lakes and hot springs. The group was formed in response to six deaths in 2007 in Arizona, Florida and Texas, all attributed to the amoeba, which typically enters the body through the nasal passages and then attacks brain tissue.

Infections are almost always fatal. Between 1998 and 2007, the U.S. recorded 33 cases; all but one was fatal, according to the CDC. The six deaths in 2007 represented the sixth-highest annual number of cases in the past 70 years.
