| Lawsuits start flying from peanut butter recall | ||

I’m filing this one under, “Wow, I can’t believe it took so long.” According to the website, Lawyers and Settlements (who we love so very much and would NEVER say anything negative or slanderous about, please don’t sue us), lawsuits have started piling up like piling up thingies against ConAgra over a salmonella outbreak in February 2007 tied to their line of Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter. Over 300 people became sick including a mother and her children who required emergency services. One family in Pennsylvania has even filed a wrongful death lawsuit, alleging that the victim died directly because of the salmonella she contracted from eating the peanut butter. This is one instance I’m glad I’m a choosy mom who chooses Jif, and will continue to do so. Or maybe I’ll just grow some peanuts in the backyard and make my own… Tag: Food RecallsBookmark to:

Hi Imperfect Parents
Not that we’re perfect, nor paranoid, but we’ve stopped buying our kids 100% fruit juices (esp. Apple), since noticing that a lot of the popular brands use concentrate from China.
Minute Maid at McDonalds and Nestle’s Juice Juice are two examples using Chinese sources.
Our gut feeling is that given the environmental and regulator issues over there, we can’t rely on their ! Better safe than sorry!
Regards
Marco
PS: try Martinelli’s in CA: 100% locally grown and processed 100% juice! Only 20% more expensive…
