Peter Pan Peanut Butter: Facility Leak Led to Peanut Butter Contamination

Officials have linked a leak in the Georgia ConAgra plant to the outbreak of salmonella blamed on contaminated jars of Peter Pan peanut butter and Great Value peanut butter.

Tainted Peanut Butter Blamed on Leaky Roof

The Sylvester, Georgia facility apparently suffered from a faulty sprinkler system and leaky roof, which caused moisture and helped grow the Salmonella bacteria in batches of the recalled peanut butter. ConAgra, whose Peter Pan peanut butter recall has rocked supermarket shelves, announced its intentions to redesign the plant and get Peter Pan back on shelves by August.
