Peanut Butter Recall at Food Lion

Hi everyone: I just received this and wanted to pass this along!

Dear valued customer,
The FDA is conducting an active investigation into the source of the Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak and has traced a source of the contamination to a plant owned by Peanut Corporation of America (PCA), which manufactures peanut butter and peanut paste. Food Lion, LLC (including Food Lion, Bloom, Bottom Dollar, Reid's and Harveys stores) is working in cooperation with the FDA to pull all products that may contain contaminated peanut paste as an ingredient. A number of products containing peanut butter or peanut paste have been recalled, including a few from our stores, however, peanut butter sold in jars at our stores is not affected. The peanut butter being recalled is sold by PCA in bulk packaging to distributors for institutional food service industry use. None of the peanut butter being recalled is sold directly to consumers through retail stores. Information regarding the ongoing recalls can be found at the FDA web site: http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/salmonellatyph.html. Also, we are updating our web site, www.foodlion.com/recalls, with all products we have pulled.
