I don't know about you, but I miss my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I have done some research and the following companies have stated they do not use products from Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) so their peanut butter has not have been affected by the recalls due to the recent outbreak of salmonella:
Jif has stated they do not use any ingredients from PCA.
Peter Pan has stated they do not use any ingredients from PCA.
Smuckers has stated they do not use any ingredients from PCA.
Skippy has a more ambiguous statement: "Skippy peanut butter is not affected by the Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) recall. Specifically, neither Skippy brand peanut butter nor any of the ingredients contained in the peanut butter are sourced from PCA in Georgia." I don't like this as it may mean they do use ingredients from one of the other PCA plants so I will skip the Skippy and go with Jif or Peter Pan.
And I'm glad to announce that Reese's has stated they do not use ingredient from PCA so I can still ocassionally have my peanut butter cups.
I do not advocate any of the above mentioned products, but I wanted to know for myself (as a peanut butter lover) if any products were safe enough to put back on my shopping list. If you want to know if your favorite peanut butter products are safe to eat you can go to the website of the manufacturer. It seems all the companies not using PCA products have a statement on the main page of their website to that effect.
