PB and J you say? No…PB and S

Scientific American – How does salmonella get into peanut butter? And can you kill it once it’s there?

Found this article mentioned in a post on The Consumerist.  Has some interesting items concerning the presence of salmonella in peanut butter.  I was always of the understanding that PB was heated to a point where bacteria like that could not survive in it but the interview in the article shows that there could be ways for it to enter later in the process.

Consumer Reports also has a safety blog with lots of info about the recent PB issues.

I love PB but I also like being alive and healthy.
