Salmonella source in peanut butter found

The Food and Drug Administation says the source of salmonella in Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter has been found.

From MSNBC:
WASHINGTON - Federal inspectors found the strain of salmonella behind a recent food-poisoning outbreak at the ConAgra Foods Inc. plant that made the tainted peanut butter, the Food and Drug Administration said Thursday.

Beyond the Sylvester, Ga., plant, the strain also has been isolated from open jars of the company’s peanut butter and some of the 370 people who have fallen ill in the outbreak, the FDA said.
