WASHINGTON -- ConAgra Foods Inc. has extended its recall of all peanut butter produced at a plant in Georgia by more than a year, back to October 2004, the Food and Drug Administration said Friday.

The recall covers all Peter Pan peanut butter and all Great Value peanut butter beginning with product code 2111, including peanut butter toppings.

Peanut butter has a long shelf life, and the FDA's announcement reflects the ongoing investigation, said ConAgra spokeswoman Stephanie Childs. Any peanut butter matching the recall, regardless of the date, can be returned to the place of purchase, or customers can send the lid to ConAgra for a refund.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 425 people have fallen ill from the outbreak of salmonella that has been traced back to the plant in Sylvester, Ga.

The FDA warned consumers who have purchased any of the products since October 2004 to discard them, and not to eat any Peter Pan or Great Value peanut butter with a product code beginning with 2111.

1. ConAgr should have the hell sued out of them.

But as usual responsibility is only for the little man. Legalized Murder Inc. for corporations. Just yesterday in Seattle a sewer worker died because BUSINESS DIDN'T FOLLOW SAFETY RULES...must save money you know and if your worker dies in the process business doesn't have to worry much. That is why I call it Legalized Murder.

2. One thing I noticed between the 50s, 60s

In those years I never heard of food contamination and poisioning sickening and killing people. But since this culture worships uncontrolled capitalism we are going to get more and more. The common man is the experimental rat.
