On Friday March 4, 2011 the makers of Skippy brand peanut butter issued a recall notice. Friday's recall affects only Skippy's reduced Fat Creamy and Super Chunk spreads with use by dates between May 16 and May 21.
The recall notice lists salmonella contamination as the concern. Salmonella is a bacteria discovered by an American scientist named Salmon. Persons exposed to salmonella can develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps about 12 to 72 hours after the exposure. The infection can last 4 to 7 days, and some people just receover with no treatment. Some persons may need hospitalization for fluids and medication.
Skippy has advised consumers to throw the suspected contaminated peanut butter away immediately. Consumers can call 800-453-3432 for a replacement coupon.
