Consumers urged to use caution eating peanut butter. (CNN)
Federal officials are urging consumers to put off eating foods that contain peanut butter until they can be they are sure they do not contain products manufactured by the Peanut Corp. of America, some of which were found to contain salmonella.
I’ve been slowly going through a small package of Nabisco brand Nutter Butter Sandwich Cookies all week. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

I am an employee of Kraft Foods and would like to respond to your blog posting regarding the recalled peanut butter ingredients.
Nutter Butter sandwich cookies are a Nabisco product and not included in this recall. Furthermore, Kraft is not recalling any products in connection with the recent salmonella outbreak involving peanut butter manufactured by Peanut Corporation of America (PCA). Neither we nor our suppliers purchase peanut butter or paste from PCA for any of our products, including those sold in the U.S. or Canada under the Kraft, Nabisco and Planters brands.
Kraft’s highest priority is the safety of our consumers, and we’re actively monitoring developments around the current recall of peanut butter. We are providing this information as suggested by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
For information about the peanut butter recall, your best source is the FDA website (http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/salmonellatyph.html). Consumers wishing to contact Kraft on this issue should visit http://www.kraftfoods.com or call 800-308-1841.
Sincerely yours,
Claire
