    Tainted peanut butter snacks

    UPDATE: More peanut butter products have been pulled from shelves, although jars of peanut butter are still said to be safe.

    There is a massive salmonella outbreak that is possible linked to peanut butter paste - which is not sold directly to us - it's the stuff used in between crackers and cookies. Contamination was confirmed by the Food and Drug Administration in a single package of Austin Quality Foods Toasty Crackers with Peanut Butter. . Thus far, Kellogg Co., has recalled 16 products. They include Austin and Keebler branded Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers, and some snack-size packs of Famous Amos Peanut Butter Cookies and Keebler Soft Batch Homestyle Peanut Butter Cookies. Health officials said consumers who have bought any of those products should throw them away. Officials say that jars of name brand peanut butter should be fine.
