Just a few weeks ago, the FDA issued a warning that said some batches of "Peter Pan" and "Great Value" brand peanut butters, manufactured by ConAgra at a Georgia plant, were contaminated with salmonella. ConAgra instituted a recall of all jars that have a product number beginning with "2111" that were purchased after August 2006. That recall has just been extended and now stretches back to October of 2004 and includes all peanut butters and peanut butter toppings sold under one of those two brand names.
It's a bit shocking, and certainly not reassuring in the least, that the problem began in 2004 and has remained undetected for so long.
Throw away any "Peter Pan" or "Great Value" peanut butter you have and buy something fresh. Preferably of a different brand. You can mail the lids of the disposed of jars to ConAgra for a refund.
