The US Food and drug Administration (FDA) has formally confirmed that ConAgra’s manufacturing plant in Sylvester, Georgia, is the source of the salmonella contamination of peanut butter made for the company’s Peter Pan brand as well as Wal-Mart’s Great Value private label.
The government recall of these products now reaches back to all jars made since December 2005. Almost 400 people have gotten sick as a result of the peanut butter contamination.
The government also said that the contamination extended to other brands manufactured at the plant - Sonic Brand Ready-To-Use Peanut Butter Topping, Carvel Peanut Butter Topping, and Hungerford Smith Peanut Butter Dessert Topping.
