salmonella in peanut butter/cheese crackers?

Question

i have been eating the cheese/peanut butter filled crackers (walmart brand) and have been feeling slightly sick to my stomach for about two months...never occured to me that perhaps there might be a problem with the peanut butter until today...anyone know the answer? oh... and... what about their peanut butter filled pretzels and the like?

Answer 1

That is a great question, I never considered their products that also contain peanut butter. I checked their website and while it doesn't mention these products it does state the following:

"Consumers with questions or concerns about the recall can call the 24-hour toll-free hotline at 866-344-6970"

You should avoid eating these things until you can get thru to them and verify if they may possibly be contaminated. It is better to be safe than sorry, especailly with salmonella.

Answer 2

I'm sure that anyone that uses tainted peanut butter would have recalled all products using Peter Pan peanut butter. You can always check for food recalls here:
http://www.fsis.usda.gov/ OR here:

http://www.fda.gov/opacom/7alerts.html

Perhaps you might be under some stress or maybe an allergy to gluten or peanuts?? Keep a food diary and find out what food(s) that you are eating when you get sick. You might be surprised what you find out!

Answer 3

I ate a small pack of them a week and a half ago...just a couple days before the recall, and I had the worst diarrhea that I've ever had the very next day. It was horrible, and I think it is a direct result of the salmonella poisoning. I am in good health otherwise, and as I said, I was miserable the next day after eating only a few crackers.
