Salmonella prompts peanut butter recall
Published: January 12, 2009
COLUMBUS, Ohio - An Ohio distributor said it has recalled two brands of its peanut butter after an open container tested positive for salmonella bacteria.
There was no immediate indication whether the brands were linked to a national salmonella outbreak.
King Nut Companies said in a statement that it asked customers to stop distributing all peanut butter under its King Nut and Parnell’s Pride brands with a lot code that begins with the numeral “8.“ The peanut butter was distributed only through food service providers and was not sold directly to consumers.
The company sells the peanut butter to distributors in Ohio, Michigan, North Dakota, Minnesota, Arizona, Idaho, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Florida.

I just want to say that I feel that this is horrible. I hope that they fix this. I also believe that God was watching over us Saturday January seventeenth. I think this because when I went shopping with my mother we had bought everything on our list except for peanut butter. At that time we didn’t even know about the situation. I feel that God was watching us because he didn’t let us remember the peanut butter. And I pray for all of the people with illnesses do the salmanella invasion.
