One of the children was feeling unwell, but not terribly unwell. Her mother told her she could go to whatever it was they were going to if she didn't feel nauseous. Upon which, she burst out in song, to the familiar tune ...

"I WON'T throw up! ..."

Best wishes,

I've got the deadly jar sitting here beside the computer. Why I don't know-I didn't put it there. ......


Our jar has the code on the lid. Like some others of you, we've got another jar with the same code with maybe enough to make half a sandwich left, the rest is long gone.

You could seek medical attention before you have symptoms. Just a thought.
I’ve eaten Adam’s Old Fashioned Peanut Butter for so long, the ingredients are peanuts and a bit of salt, I find common peanut butter nasty! I do have to keep the peanut oil stirred into it, but I found I can begin the mixing process simply by storing unopened jars upside down. I should suggest they ship the jars upside down.

Heck no...if he wants some he can buy it himself!

Standard commercial peanut butter is for sure nasty if you've habituated yourself to the pure stuff. But yeah, you pay a small price for non-hydrogenated lipids: separation. One word: refrigerator. Stir in the oil however you have to do it, but the fridge keeps it all stable. Probably a good idea to chill it beforehand, anyway, just to facilitate the process. There's this locally produced brand that's just peanuts and salt and you find it prechilled among the cheeses and eggs, so it's unseparated and very convenient for those among us who demand simplicity, zero trans fats, the gratification of entitlement and unseparated nut butters. Used to be the choices were creamy and chunky. Like, duh. Cheap enough, anyway, health issues aside, and I really like to support local business. Now they have creamy and chunky with honey. I am so in heaven, peanut butterwise.

Still: natural peanut butters will still be runny if slathered on sandwiches in the thicknesses one could do with impunity using the hydrogenated products, so you have to use much less, or use a plate (but who does that? I ask you :wink: ) and lick off the drippage, or do what I do: just eat it off of a spoon.

All of which isn't to suggest that I'm unscrewed. Salmonella happens. Especially these days, it seems for some reason.

Well, they recalled a Walmart brand too. Same stuff, different label.

I switched to fresh-ground almond butter (oh, and Weeks, that's organic almonds from the local co-op, of course :wink: ) a few years ago. Now, I almost can't stand the taste of peanut butter. Odd, that.

I used to grind my own pb, and it was the best taste, but it was hugely hard on the grinder. I now by fresh ground at the bulk food store, where they also have several nut butters such as almond and cashew (gesundheit!). At pennies per pound, pb is still a much better deal than the nut butters, and I don't find their taste worth the extra cost.

back when I was in Foods and we did have Jif, we would go up and get nuts fresh and hot out of the roaster.
Then we'd go over to the Duncan Hines group and get premium chocolate chips.

Great trail mix!!!!

Oooops. Time to wake up and smell the commercial mayhem. Hydrogenated peanut butter, with or without salmonella, is hard on human bodies. Cheap...yes. Conveniently spreadable...yes. Peanut flavored...yes. Cute names and TV presentations...yes.
Best to get a bit more clever, for yourself and your kids. Good health is cool.
