What should I do with my salmonella-infected peanut butter?

[Robb]

Turns out I've got one of the recalled jars in my pantry. :shrug:

Seems like a waste of good bacteria to just throw it away. :D

1. add bird seed and feed it to squirrels?

:shrug:

6. I had three of them.

There was a sale a few weeks ago on Peter Pan.

7. grocery stores around here are refunding the cost. n/t

9. Did you eat any of it?

[pitohui]

10. return it to the store for a refund

i have never had a moment's trouble getting cash back for a recalled product even if i have lost the receipt

the coolest time was the recalled OTC diet product i bought for hub, it was a "freebate" item where they mailed back a check for the amount of the item to try it, meanwhile hubby said, "no way i'm taking drugs to lose weight," then it was recalled, i had no receipt because hello i sent it in for the rebate, the drugstore manager said not a problem and gave me a full cash refund anyway for the trouble


so hell i actually turned a profit on it!

14. salmonella outbreak in PeterPan and Great Value peanut butter...

The Food and Drug Administration warned consumers not to eat certain jars of Peter Pan or Great Value peanut butter because of the risk of contamination.

The affected jars have a product code on the lid that begins with the number "2111." The affected jars are made by ConAgra in a single facility in Sylvester, Georgia, the FDA said.

Great Value peanut butter made by other manufacturers is not affected, the agency said.

12. Just buy Jif

It tastes better anyway. :-)

[LaraMN]

13. Feed it to some salmon?

:shrug:

[chknltl]

16. So where would one find out if THEIR peanut butter needed tossin?

I got 2 jars of Jiff in my cubbord.... :scared:
on edit: I just saw auntagonist's response above.... phew

[dEMOK]

17. The honest answer is to throw out the jar, but save the cap &...

...send it to the manufacturer for a refund (read the jar for manufacturer's info).

I saw this on MSNBC

19. I guess I am going to make cookies with mine

thorough cooking is said to kill the bacteria. If it works with eggs, then why not with PB?

20. Roll it into a tortilla with my infected guacamole and enjoy!

:puke:

21. eBay

22. Ya know, that's not a bad idea

Market it right and it just might work. I am looking at a jar of Peter Pan right here in front of me with the dreaded 2111....... serial. I notice ConAgra hasn't offered me my money back so why not?
