ConAgra extends recall of peanut butter to ’04

WASHINGTON (AP) - ConAgra Foods Inc. has extended its recall of all peanut butter produced at a plant in Georgia by more than a year, back to October 2004, the Food and Drug Administration said Friday.

The recall covers all Peter Pan peanut butter and all Great Value peanut butter beginning with product code 2111, including peanut butter toppings.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 425 people have fallen ill from the outbreak of salmonella that has been traced back to the plant in Sylvester, Ga. The FDA warned consumers who have purchased any of the products since October 2004 to discard them and not to eat any Peter Pan or Great Value peanut butter with a product code beginning with 2111.
