About the Salmonella Outbreak
ConAgra Foods, one of North America’ s leading packaged food companies, announced on February 14, 2007 that it is taking precautionary measures by recalling all varieties of Peter Pan Peanut Butter and Great Value Peanut Butter beginning with product code 2111 imprinted on the lid of both brand. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC, has performed a study that has linked Peter Pan Peanut Butter to 351 Salmonella cases in 44 states. Over 70 people have been hospitalized so far. The Federal Drug Administration, FDA, has since confirmed that Peter Pan Peanut Butter and Great Value Peanut Butter (the house brand of Wal-Mart), are the sources of the foodborne illness outbreak of Salmonella Tennessee that begun in August 2006. Symptoms of the foodborne illness caused by Salmonella include fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramps. In persons with poor underlying health or weakened immune systems, Salmonella can invade the bloodstream and cause life-threatening infections. At least 15 food poisoning lawsuits against ConAgra have been filed as of March 2007, and the company expects thousands more. The FDA is continuing an ongoing investigation of the Peter Pan and Great Value Peanut Butter Salmonella contamination. Recently, ConAgra announced that a leak in the roof of the plant may be linked to the tainted peanut butter. Our team of professionals, along with our experts, immediately inspected ConAgra’s plant located in Sylvester, Georgia the following week.
