General Mills’ LARABAR Peanut Butter Cookie and JamFrakas Peanut Butter Blisscrisp snack bars are two of the latest products pulled off store shelves because they were made with peanut butter that came from Peanut Corporation of America, and may be contaminated with salmonella.
The Food and Drug Administration has traced the outbreak to the Georgia plant which makes peanut butter and peanut paste that are distributed to institutions and food companies.
Grocers Kroger Co. and Meijer Inc. also joined the growing list of food companies and retailers pulling items with peanut butter amid this salmonella outbreak. So far, it is linked to six deaths and has made more than 470 people sick in 43 states.
As the outbreak continues, the FDA has added a page to its website with regular updates of which products and brands have been recalled. You can find it here.
