Think It Couldn't Happen To You?

Think again!  After the news last night, we went and checked our pantry, and THERE IT WAS.  One of the dreaded salmonella-tainted jars of Peter Pan Peanut Butter.  The tell-tale "2111" lot number stamped right on top, bold as brass.  Thankfully still sealed, unopened.

Sadly, it was the most exciting thing that happened to us all day long.

Our deadly jar of PB was purchased in Cabot about a week ago.  Check your peanut butter, peoples.  Back to buying the spackle-flavored "natural" stuff and doctoring it up in my mixer, then storing it in the 'fridge for me.  *sigh*

Belinda,

Our jar of Peter Pan, also stamped with the mark of the beast, 2111, was over half-eaten. Yet we're still alive to tell it.

I guess we should still toss out the jar, huh?

Hugh, I think you can take back just the lid for a refund! My mom ate a whole jar of the stuff with no ill effects. We hadn't opened ours yet. I have not yet spoken to anyone who DIDN'T have a jar of Poison Peanuts.
