Peanut Products and Fear

Oh Noes. I just wan't my peanut butter back.

I say they should have made him eat some of the food in the jar. Also he should have explained. Because now other charges can possibly be pressed against them if someone gets sick.

national brand name jars of peanut butter like Skippy and Jif are not associated with this outbreak of salmonella, They shouldn't be concerned about those particular products. All we know is our class likes Peanut Butter

Wow. There's so much in our diets that consist of peanut products. Peanut butter crackers, cookies... but I have to say I'm not surprised, people have let things get worse, though I'm surprised that it was the PCA that let it get bad.

They should just shut down the peanut companys and make new peanut plants and get the peanuts from Africa or sumthing like that

peanuts scare me now and I think all peanutbutter should be recalled

the peanut corperation was stupid. they knew that the peanut butter had salmenella in it. the speaker of the peanut corp. should just come out with the truth cause he's goin to get the consequenses any way. hes just making the trial longer. te longer he holds it off the longer he will be in jail.

I am horrified at the state of cleanliness in these faculties! They handle things we consume things that we eat, you would think that they would be more careful! I am just horrified with the way things are progressing. I used to LOVE peanut butter .... now I'm not so sure.

i am afraid of penuts now i don'nt want to get sick so i have no eaten anything with them for 5 weeks

Carl,
Could you find out what peanut products were affected for me?

I just want to blog.

Also, everybody else Girl Scout cookies are safe to eat and the peanut butter in the Tagalongs and Dos-i-dos don't come from PCA. So no worries about GS cokies.

One of our students thinks that the president of the peanut company should be held responsible for the peanuts. Others think that he should go to jail and have to eat his own peanut butter, Justice!!! If you see dead birds and rats how in the world are you going to allow the peanuts to get processed. The person who let the products out of the factory needs to spend at least 15 years to life with no parol, he killed people and it should be looked at just like murder.

its scary because who knows what other big food companies we trust arent testing their foods for dieseases and that we eat each day so they can make a quick buck

I thick that people should not compleatly stop buying peanut products . but should be carfull about what they buy

Peanut butter is my favorite thing on earth and it is a shame that someone was too lazy to clean up the animals.

Scary situation!
I love peanut butter, but if people are dying from it, then I would totally give it up!

p.s. Carl Azuz ROCKS MY SOCKS!!!!!

that really sucks that that happend.last year it was tomatoes which i love, and now its peanut butter, which i lovetoo!there still selling peanut butterand mymom wont letmehaveanylol i really want somethough!

The whole thing is just a mix up, it isn't like they meant to hurt anyone on purpose!!!

it is a mistake.nobody was suppost to get hurt!!!!!!

The food should be exammended. Imagine how many people got sick or even died from the Salmonella and know one knew what the cause of there death or sickness is from!!! Three years is to long

!!!!!

i beleave they should just stop using penut butter in this state,and just sew the people that has been selling it.i would rather stop selling the penut then ltting someone die from it and i wanted to say for the families that lost one of there family members ill keep your families in prairs

love you guys
bye

now come peanut butter there is the plain peanut butter but the thing that
have it in it are off the shelves

I think that it is terrible that the peanut producers allow their products to be contaminated with Salmonella.

i hope that peanutbutter goes extent

Does that mean no more pb&j sandwiches

It's taking the Peanut Butter of the Banana Sandwich! On noes! Sorry Elvis!

If the peanut products are being sold to innocent buyers who spend their precious money during these tough, economic times on them and are being harmed by the products, well the Peanut Company shouldn't be let off so easily and be struck with the full fury of whoever is suing them.

I don"t care if they band Peanuts but don't band my sweat peanut butter.

This is a serious problem if we don't have peanuts we don't have peanut butter

Hi! why do you want your peanut butter back is I don't have it

If we do not have peanut, how in the universe would my mom make thoes delisious sandwiches of rich peaunuts? You are doing bad taking the peaunuts away!!!

I predict that if we don't have earths peanuts we don't have health and my mom says it is bad for us.....

I think that the president of the peanut products should have cleaner factories to avoid any more deaths because of peanuts

I think that it is a big mistake. They didn't mean to hurt anyone, they were just trying to get there products shipped safely.

nobody was supposed to get hurt. I just want my PB and J already!!!

It is all a mistake. If anything was suppose to happen, it would be the shipping of the products.

I love peanut butter! Only a mean person would do something to taint it.

We thunk that this Peanut thing is just a bunch of stuff. Its sad that people are taking away things and getting people in trouble when we really dont know if its actually there,

I think this is wrong!!!! Why would you use old peanuts to make peanut butter now??? Yew... Im staying off of pb&j for a while!!!

The recall is a smart move made by the Texas Department of State Health. Hopefully this will help keep people healthy in the state of Texas. Maybe if this works other states will follow their examples. I personally don't like peanuts so I'm not that upset about it. But it's disappointing to know that The Peanut Corporation is this dirty/ infested. The FDA should have known about this before it got to out of hand.

Uh...I don't know what to say, but right now I will not eat ANYTHING with Peanut butter in it no matter where it's from. And I love peanut butter, so this kinda sucks.

This has something to do with salmonella and why is the Peanut Corporation of America hammered?

yea who wants that peanut butter! thats sick!

The company just filed for bankruptcy. Take THAT contaminated peanut paste!!!!

Well shouldn't the factory have checked every nook and cranny to make sure they were clean to aviod an out-break like this? Its just not right.

As with the recalls and peanut products...they better hurry up with this check up, my brother can't live with out peanut butter, in any shape or form.

I just hate all of peanuts

Lincoln was so cool!

GIMME MA PENEWT BEWTER!!!!!!!

I think all peanut productions should be taken back because multiple people have been getting the sickness from peanuts. The peanut companies should stop producing for a while until they can figure out what is happening.

The thing is, people in the factory SAW all of the dead rodents and droppings and bird feathers. They saw it with their own eyes but did not care. Not even 1% of their conscience felt anything when they saw the contaminated peanut products.

Also, the president of the PCA was on trial and pleaded the 5th. However, he witnessed the contamination and obviously knew about it. Yet he did nothing to stop it. He himself should be placed in jail for 50 years with no parol. The Peanut Corporation of America should be shut down until it can live up to the FDA's standards. If they cannot pass one health inspection every month for six months, they should be put out of business. Another peanut company can then expand and be the leading producer of peanut products. So for all you peanut butter lovers, we will still have peanut butter!!!!

Though the Constitution obviously allows them to take the fifth in this situation, I think it made them look worse. When you've done something wrong, it's better just to own up to it instead of dancing around the situation.

I'm glad that the peanut butter was recalled. Economic crisis or not, that's no reason to continue making products that can put people in hospitals.

I think there doing the right thing. I don't know about you guys but im pretty sure i dont want salmenela or rodnt droppings in my peanutbutter

Elijah

This is all crazy to me. I love peanutbutter even more than the next guy but im also sure i dont want rodent droppings in it either

People changing their diets from peanuts is like the first step from changing our energy uses to solar, wind etc.

This is a big problem and I think the Buisness should be shut down, if the person in charge is proven guilty, if not, he is sent to jail. 5th Amendment or not.

Elephants love peanuts, but why should we?

The government should hold the company responsible. Several people have died and many others are sick. The company was responsible because they did not take care of rodents found within their building.

Well, apparently, by pleading the fifth, he knows something. Also, shouldn't they have cleared a sort of inspection? Having rodents and such should have tipped them off to something; I mean, it's common sense: dead animals = unhealthy.

the company should be closed
government should not tolerate this

I think that the recalls are good for our safety, but I don't think we should recall every single peanut butter product, not the jars, but maybe any of the other products that include peanut butter, or any of those products that include the peanut butter brands that have been recalled, or where they grow their peanuts are close to where the other peanuts that have been recalled are grown should be recalled.

National brand named peanut butters like jiff and peterpan aren't affected. People shouldn't be worried as much as they are, considering they don't even know for sure it's there. Everyone should holdback on buying pre-made food products with peanutbutter inside, but not start a riot over it.

I think that they should keep the recall until they are sure theirs no salmonella in the products.........because i don't want to die from peanut butter.

I think with the peanut products they should take them out of ALL store cause where i live there are still peanut butter products in in stores. There are alot alot of people getting sick form peanut butter products.

i think we should put the production of peanut butter and peanuts on hold it will cause people to get layed of for a while until we find what this is coming from but its a risk we are going to have to take, because more and more people are just going to get sick and even possibly die if we dont do something soon

I still love them

This is nutts (excuse the pun)
I love peanuts and peanutbutter. But i dont love it when now i think about poop and dying whenever its near. It's just too gross.

i love pb now i fear it

People in penut factories need to do their job right. People are dying becouse of peanuts and the factories that make peanuts and peanut butter. Its rediculous.

i hate pbj i only like my howmade penute butter:(:(

I just really want to have peanut butter and peanut products back!!!!!!!!!

I used to eat a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich everyday for lunch but, now im scared to eat anything that contains peanutbutter. I think that they should take better care of the places they make the peanutbutter because its practicaly a food group.

dang that is crazii i neva thought that penut butter could be so deadly

p.s. scary

I think it was a goof idea to recall the products. You never know. They should aslo recall all the peanut butter products so nobody else gets sick. It would be bad to die from peanut butter. Who wants to die from somethign so good?

thats absolutley revolting. just urghh. no more peanut butter for me. i'll stick with good ole' vitamins.

1. Gross BEYOND reason.
2.Like most of you guys said they should have been recalled or just put the brakes on the pb until what the whole source is from the crap that's being put in it.
3. I LOVE PB!!!!!!

Well from what I hear only a few products have found the salmanela in them................how can they tell anyway?

It's good that the plants are being shut down because it is gross that these plants passed health inspection!!!! People have died from this and it's very bad. They need to fix this problem!!!!

I think that if it was just an outbreak and they didn't know then yes it was a mistake and we should just be aware. But, if they sent the products out anyway even though they knew that they were contaminated that is just wrong!!!!!!! The company stated the fifth and wouldn't talk about what they were being accused of.They also found that the factory wasn't very clean. And the company just filed for bankruptcy. Which means that they can't really charge them with anything. Makes me wonder.

Well for one, now I can't grab a reese's peanut butter cup (my favorite snack) without thinking of being sick for weeks on end. I think that PCA should pay every one that gets sick, and the families of the people that got sick and died. They were irresponsible and should be punished.

i think that they sould press very high charges but i dnt think this is the worst of our problems

Dont be scared to eat penutbutter. If you get sick sue the penut company and take your wife out to eat in this bad econemy with the money.

No more peanuts! Wow I don't know if I could live with out those things!

i don`t think people shouldn't stop buying penut butter all togother . i mean how can we have pb &j swanwitches

Forget the war, forget the economy, we have a crises here, Obama!!! Save us!!

I think its stupid to still sell this who cares if you go out of buisness you are just killing people which you YOU should be ashamded of!

I think that this topic is very important for our community to know! if peanut butter is actually affecting our health then they should STOP! selling peanut butter : or even if they think that peanut butter is going bad the they should still stop selling the product because it can risk our life and even our healths and its actually very important to let our community know what is in these products and whats around it and what its causing us.

I love my peanut butter, and even though there is an outbreak of slmoenila in the peanut butter ill eat it anyone. So will my dog, Cooper.

well i really much of a peanut fan but after what i heard i won't eat it i don't know if any one else will eat it?

People should just find out the brand of peanut butter that is not tainted, and they should use that…duh

I LOVE PEANUTS AND I LOVE YOU CARL!!!
(BUT NOT SOO MUCH YOUR JOKES)

Im sad, I love peanut butter. I ate a wacht ya ma call it (a type of peanut candy!) last night . Im scared. lol

If he doesnt give the people more explanation then his butt will get sued. Sorry to be so blunt on the issue but its a fact.

Who cares, just don't eat peanut butter! Thats all you have to do.

I have eaten peanut butter crackers in since the day the salmonella scare came out. I watched the news while eating one. And nothing has happened.

If factory owners would do the job right than there would be nothing to worry about.

I don"t care if there might be salmonella! i'm still going to eat my peanut butter girl scout cookies!

I really dont care. mostly because i dont like peanutbutter, its to dry.
I mean seriously, if people would do their job right, nothing would be wrong

I think that the Nut house should just come up with a new
"ANTI-Salamonela, Cleanliness Plan!"I really hope this dosen't effect Resse's Cups or Girl Scout Tagalongs, because that would be tragic..... Seriously you have to love them their classics!

Just don't try to give your pets peanut butter unless you want them to get salamonela!

people should realy do their job right so they dont cause harm to people !! it is realy scary how you are risking your life by just eating a penut butter sandwitch

am just horrified with the way things are progressing. I used to LOVE peanut butter …. now I’m not so sure.

I dont care if they get rid of peanut butter because i dont even like it, but the rest of my family likes it so keep it......but not if it is going to get them sick!!!

I don't really think that they should be scaring everyone like they are. We have medication and stuff that can help us if we get sick. I just want peanut butter back. Our school already took the PB&J's away. I think that it has gone too far.

I'm still going to eat my peanut butter! I love it and if people don't want to get sick, they don't have to eat it. It's that easy. But nooo, people have to make a big deal about it and ruin it for people that do like it. It's just stupid.

Carl
I had a peanut butter sandwich for lunch i hope i do get Salmonella poison i love nutter butters.

I think that first peanut butter is disgutsting, but I also think that they should inspect the area where their food is being manufactered!

I believe President Obama economic stimulus plan will be good for America though their are things that some people won't agree with

peanut butterytreats are to good to give up and do you mind givin a shout out to mrs.Berkes's class

Jeez Carl why would you have a secuirty camra in a school???? It's not the police station Carl. Did the deer like just break the glass into the school???Ehhhhh

i hop thay dont take it all away
