Elwood Nixes Peanut Butter from School Menu

Elwood School District recently announced that peanut butter will not be on the lunch menu until further notice because of a massive recall, expanded on Oct. 5.

The FDA confirmed the presence of Salmonella in nut butters made by Sunland, Inc in the beginning of October. A Sept. 24 recall has since been expanded to include all nut butters manufactured in the Sunland peanut butter plant after March 1, 2010, with a "best by" date of March 1, 2011 or later. A full recall list is attached.

The CDC reports a total of 35 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Bredeney from 19 states.
