Peanut Butter tips?

[JoeHova]

Hi everybody-

 

I don't really enjoy peanut butter that much so I haven't been totally keeping up with the decimation of the peanut industry. My wife likes it a lot though and we ran out of our supply today. Does anybody have any recommendations of a brand that hasn't been tainted by all the recalls? I try not to buy into the hysteria over stuff like this but peanut products seem to get recalled every few days lately so I want to make a good choice. Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks.

I thought I had heard that peanut butter from the jars is safe. I'm not all that crazy about peanut butter myself, so I don't have any special recommendations, although after looking it up it appears that Jif and Peter Pan were advertising recently that their brand is safe:

 

MSN Jar Peanut Butter

 

It seems as though just the industrial peanut paste used in various products has been the subject of the salmonella outbreaks.

I personally like Organic Peanut Butter for the taste more than anything. There is no sugar in it so it actually tastes like peanuts. I get generic Roundy's Organic Peanut Butter.

I would think you would be safe with just about any certified organic peanut butter. They are numerous brands on the market

I've not seen any jarred peanut butter that was recalled. Last I heard all jarred peanut butter was safe.

I originally thought this was going to be "The Bacon Thread--Part II" but I'm glad I was wrong.

 

I'm not much into peanut butter anymore. At school, we were told it was just the peanut butter that was in prepackaged peanut butter cracker sandwiches. I guess not?

Maybe it is, I haven't been following it too closely. I just have vague recollections of a bunch of peanut butter recalls lately.

It was peanut butter that was used for industrial cooking purposes. Any peanut butter that was sold in jars is perfectly fine.

Somewhat on topic, JIF with honey is really good, and maybe slightly better for you. A little, perhaps. Tasty either way.

Here's a link to an FDA list of products recalled because of the peanut/peanut butter problem.
