The Food and Drug Administration confirms a package of Austin Toasty Crackers with Peanut Butter is contaminated with salmonella. It’s the first product sold to consumers that has tested positive for the strain that was first linked only to peanut butter sold to institutions like nursing homes.
Last week, Kellogg recalled the crackers, along with other snack foods as a precaution in light of the nation’s salmonella outbreak.
Since then, several other companies have recalled products made with peanut butter. And the FDA warns Americans to avoid cookies, crackers, ice cream and other foods that have peanut butter in the ingredients until it can determine how widespread the salmonella outbreak is across the country.
A complete list of the recalls and more information from the FDA is here.
