The peanut butter recall crept into pet foods today when PetSmart announced it was voluntarily recalling some peanut butter biscuits because they used the peanut butter from Peanut Corporation of America, where the FDA says they've traced the salmonella outbreak. WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal officials say more than 125 products
have been recalled in a salmonella-and-peanuts investigation that
keeps getting bigger.
The list ranges from goodies like cakes and ice cream, to dog
biscuits, Food and Drug Administration officials said Wednesday.
All were made with peanut paste or peanut butter made at a
Peanut Corp. of America plant in Blakely, Ga. that has suspended
production.
The weight loss company NutriSystem was among the latest
customers of PCA to be caught up in the investigation, issuing a
recall Wednesday for peanut butter granola bars.
More than 480 people have been sickened in the outbreak, which
has contributed to at least six deaths. Investigators say tests
have found salmonella in the plant.
