Peter Pan Peanut Butter is Safe!

I'm not sure how I got on the e-mail list, but nonetheless, when I checked my e-mails this morning, this was one of them:

We can assure you that all of the products made by ConAgra Foods, including our popular Peter Pan Peanut Butter, are safe to enjoy, and no ConAgra Foods products have been recalled.

Sincerely,ConAgra Foods, maker of Peter Pan Peanut Butter In case you haven't checked this out, you can go and see exactly which foods have been recalled and which brands/stores are voluntarily pulling their products "just in case".

Something that I didn't know until this morning - jars of peanut butter that we use (Skippy, Jif, Peter Pan, etc.) are not on the recall list! Those items are safe. It's crackers, snack cakes and some other things you have to watch out for. Like I said, for the whole list - visit the link above.
