Peanut Butter Recall Updated To Include Ice Cream Toppings
It's been weeks since the first announcement that Peter Pan peanut butter and Great Value peanut butter produced at ConAgra's Georgia peanut butter facility was linked to a nationwide salmonella outbreak. Now, the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is extending its warning to ice cream spreads containing the potentially tainted peanut butter.
The update implicates bulk peanut butter that was shipped to ConAgra's facility in Humboldt, Tennessee. While the following brands are no longer being sold, they may still be sitting on customer's pantry shelves:
