Peanut Products Recalled for Salmonella

There has been a recall on peanut products in Canada and the US that might be contaminated with salmonella. Ice cream, chocolate bars, and a whole wack of other stuff.

You can read the story on the CBC website.

The recall is the result of an outbreak of salmonella in the U.S. that has
sickened at least 529 people. At least eight might have died.
The alert
issued by the agency also warns consumers about foods manufactured in the U.S.
that contain recalled peanuts in various forms. The foods contain whole or
crushed peanuts or peanuts that have been turned into a butter, paste or
powder.
The list of foods includes U.S.-made snack bars with brand names such
as Cinch, Detour and Oh Yeah! The list also includes the Disney Hannah Montana
Peanut Chocolate Granola Bar and Sinbad Sweets Baklava Assortment.
The
outbreak is being linked to peanuts processed at a Georgia-based Peanut Corp. of
America plant. The nuts have been widely used as an ingredient in various
processed food manufactured in both the U.S. and Canada.
More than 430
products have been recalled in the U.S. while the CFIA has recalled more
than 120.

The FDA list is around 1500 recalls and I'm sure the Canadian one is growing. Please keep updated on this folks. They are already saying some people may have died from this.
