Nearly 300 people have gotten sick with salmonella poisoning from eating peanut butter. Luckily, they've isolated the problem at a facility in Georgia, and the affected cans are from brands Peter Pan or Great Value. Look for product code "2111" on the lid. Most of the outbreak was contained on the East Coast, and the FDA is investigating how the peanut butter was contaminated in the first place.
We had a jar with those numbers that was half eaten (gulp!), but no one was sick. Needless to say, we won't eat any more from that jar but will buy more tomorrow. Can't exist without the PB!!
