They found ONE, count it ONE contaminated jar.

"King Nut took this action as soon as it was informed that salmonella had been found in an open five-pound tub of King Nut peanut butter."

I imagine that five-pound tub represented quite a bit more than one jar. The article doesn't say whether they continued to test all the tubs in the manufacturing facility. In addition, it was imperative that they find and correct the source of contamination before distributing any of their product.

Only a handful of states had no cases of Salmonella. The article didn't specify whether all the cases under consideration were the same strain as the one King Nut strain of organism, but I would assume so, or they wouldn't likely have included them in the investigation.

Well.. Most of the recalls do get pulled off the shelf in time.

However the more we start importing goods from countries where there is little quality control or from where food producers are allowed to "Self-inspect" and the more and more we lay off our own inspectors..

The more recalls we get

So far only one or two recalls have hit anywhere near me.. And none of those were a bulls eye (I had the product but NOT the affected batch)

I'd cheerfully ban anything imported from China, but I'm afraid they have a good grip on us in a tender spot. With all our T-bills they hold, we'd be in a pickle if we broke off all trade with them and thoroughly alienated them.

Indeed! I never could quite figure that out, but I'm convinced it was a political move more than an economic one. In my book, no one gets "most favored" until he gets human rights right. I guess that's why I'm not in control of the nation's economics.

I was surprised when I heard yesterday that baked goods were added to the list. I would have thought the baking process would have killed all microorganisms.
