Peanut Butter Ban Extended Back to 2004
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is informing consumers today that ConAgra has extended their recall of all Peter Pan peanut butter, and all Great Value peanut butter beginning with product code 2111, including peanut butter toppings, back to October 2004.
So what that means is if you have purchased any of these products since October 2004 you should discard them. FDA's advice to consumers continues to be not to eat any Peter Pan peanut butter or any Great Value peanut butter beginning with the 2111 product code.

Recall notice too late - We had eaten at least 95% of jar with recall number. Neither my grandaughter or I had any ill effects. I did throw away jar but with most of product gone.
salmonella and jelly.....mmm good!

I can't believe ConAgra has known about this since Oct 2006. We had two jars in the pantry, both of them over half gone. I had to take my husband to the ER. He was missed Diagnosed because we had no clue until now what he had.
I've eaten well over 10 jars of the stuff. I've gotten horribly sick with no explanation also.
But wow, now I know.
Are they doing anything about all the people who wasted money on a wrong diagnosis?
I doubled over at work and had to get on my hands and knees at work due to the severe abdominal pain.I was sick at my stomach for a couple of days. My doctor didn't have a clue. This was in 2004. I had the same symptoms in 2006. My doctor sent me for an Upper GI, EKG, Gall bladder ultrasound and nothing. After I heard about the recall on the peanut butter I ran to the cabinet and found 2 jars 95% already eaten. I went back to my doctor and he said all it would cause is a case of diarreah. Since then I have lower back pain, Urinary tract infections, and an eye infection unexplained. I have always had great health until this. I sure hope my doctor never gets a case of this so called "mild diarreah" No more peanut butter for me.
MY SISTER WAS 17 WEEKS PREGNANT HAVING HORRIBLE MORNING SICKNESS...THE ONLY THING SHE WAS ABLE TO KEEP DOWN WAS PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICHES WHICH SHE WAS EATING FOR EVERY MEAL. WHEN SHE WENT FOR HER 20 WEEK ULTRASOUND HER BABY HAD DIED. SHE WENT INTO THE HOSPITAL TO DELIVER HER STILLBORN BABY AND THE BABY WAS SENT OFF TO HAVE PATHOLOGICAL TESTS RUN. PATHOLOGY REPORTS CAME BACK SHOWING THE BABIES SYSTEM WAS FULL OF SALMONELLA. THAT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT CAME BACK ABNORMAL. THAT WAS IN EARLY DECEMBER. SHE HAD THE PEANUT BUTTER THAT WAS RECALLED. AND NOW CON AGRA HAS A BIG LAW SUIT...
We have purchased Peter Pan pb, and GV pb at least 2-3 jars a week for the past 5 years, because I have 5 children, and none of my children, myself, nor my husband have ever gotten ill. Maybe we have strong immune systems...??
I purchased some peanut butter (Peter Pan) a few months ago, and I opened it and spread it on a piece of bread. It looked kind of funny, it had a chunk of peanut with brown and black mushy stuff on it. Of course it was the creamy kind-- should have had no peanuts!! But, I still ate it and served it to my children... Well nothing happened to us, and this was before I heard about the scare. I feel really bad now, because as a mother i should have discarded the whole jar because it looked unusual. But I guess it's okay because we are all okay.
I was so sick for 5 whole days after eating the PB. Had to go to the doctor twice for dehydration with diarrhea and vomiting.
The worst part is I fed that same peanut butter to my Akita and now she is dead. She died from poisoning the emergency room vet told us. Where can I get these jars of peanut butter tested for salmonella? Anyone out there know the answer?
Last spring I went on vacation with my family to my grandmother's condo, we all got horribly sick at about the same time... including a 5 year old and two 2 year olds. It holds a memory as the sickest any of us have ever been without visiting the ER. We had no idea why until she went back to her condo this year and found an almost empty bottle of the peanut while we were there butter that we had all been eating. It's amazing salmonella can be in peanut butter making people sick for years and no one knew.
I think that ConAgra or the selling company should have to buy back or exchange the product.
my wife's aunt had to go to the hospital for abdominal pains and they couldn't find anything wrong, just passed it off as being diabetic. but we found two 75% eaten jars of Peter Pan PB in her pantry. Now we have contacted her doctor and complications from this consumption of bad product has paralyzed her lower stomach muscles. All this because a company was negligent. What can we do about these people?
Why hasn't ConAgra peanut butter that could be affected by salmonella been replaced for the consumer by ConAgra? I guess neither our government or ConAgra cares about the consumers! I'll buy different brand if that's the way they wish to do business!
We had just opened and had some of the PP product one day for snacks. Sickness started a few hrs. later and lasted three days. Finally say local report on recall and verified we had eaten recalled PP. Using OTC products we muddled through and I just got my refund for product + postage from Conagra. Now the problem is no store has any PP or only very small jars of ones we've never used. Guess it will take time to switch inventories.
Please it is not Conagras fault as soon as they found out about the problem they recalled the proguct. The code2111 is the factory code where the product was made.
My grandchildren has eaten the peanut butter without any problems and I returned three jars for my daughter.
I stopped buying Peter Pan chunky last fall because I thought it was tasting funny and had some "funny-looking" stuff it shouldn't have in it. One jar of chunky only had peanuts chunks in the top layer. I do not know what the numbers were on the jar. Nothing happened, surprisingly, that I can remember, since because of medicines I do have an immune-suppressed system! I changed to another brand---oh my, and who makes Kroger store brand?? I'd bought Peter Pan (or whoever was on sale) for years.
WELL I HAVE BEEN SICK SINCE SEPT.06 UNEXPLAINED DIAHERRA FEVER SEVERE CRAMPS CHILLS WENT TO THE DOCTOR NUMEROUS TIMES HAD ALL KINDS OF TEST STILL COULD NOT EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM BUT NOW I KNOW IHAVE ATE OVER 3 JARS OF THE TAINTED PRODUCT I HAVE ALL KINDS OF STOMACH PROBLEMS WHAT AM I TO DO IHAVE 4 ULCERS IBS. SPLEEN ENLARGED INFLAMATION IN ENTIRE STOMACH THAT WON;T GO AWAY
Conagra is full of SH--, because my little 5 yr old ate their peanut butter and was rushed to the ER shortly after, vomitting and crying in fever. They kept her 1 night and I have never seen her cry so bad, her little face was in so much pain and I even cried to see it as her mother, they had trouble with her I.V because she was so small and after it was all said and done I sent my medical proof plus my peanut butter jar lids to Conagra and demanded something in return for my daughters illness and suffering with proof and the manager was a (I cant even say on this site) and gave me such a hard time, he said they would only give her $100 max and if I was no so ill at the time myself and nursing another ill baby, I would of taken their selfish, ignorant, rears to court. Now that my baby and I are better,I wish I could...but I beleive also in karma, they will get theirs...if they can't be sympathetic to the public then they should not be in business at all! I took my daughter to
toys r us and spent it all on her for her pain and suffering but still, I'd like to see how they would of felt if it was their kid!
in early 2007, before hearing of the Peter Pan recall, my 80 year old mother-in-law,my wife and myself were all sick for a week with vomiting and diarhea. The fact that Convict-Agra knew about the problem since 2006 simply distgusts me.The fact that with the tomato scare now ongoing itbrings to light the pattern in FDA incompetance that seems to follow this admistration like a literal plague.I wont be buying any, any foods that I suspect are made by Convict-Agra or voting Republican ever again ... jm
