All Peter Pan peanut butter bought since May 2006 should be discarded, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Friday in a statement broadening its warning about salmonella-contaminated peanut butter.

The FDA said the suspect Great Value peanut butter also could be identified by the 2111 code.

The CDC has identified the strain of bacteria as Salmonella Tennessee, one of many strains of salmonella bacteria.

They can cause nausea, diarrhea and other ill effects, but usually the sickness clears up on its own in less than a week.

"Although Great Value peanut butter with the specified product code has not been linked by CDC to the cases of Salmonella Tennessee infection, the product is manufactured in the same plant as Peter Pan peanut butter and, thus, is believed to be at similar risk of contamination," the FDA said in a statement.

"Great Value peanut butter made by manufacturers other than ConAgra is not affected."

The FDA said it persuaded ConAgra to recall the peanut butter on Wednesday, shortly after the CDC confirmed it was investigating the outbreak.

John McCain: Resolution Vote Is Meaningless

   John McCain is in Chicago seeking cash and votes for his presidential nomination for a shot at the presidency in 2008.

   He is missing the Senate vote Saturday because resolution critical of President Bush's troop surge is " a meaningless exercise fraught with partisanship."

McCain's spokesman said he is a staunch supporter of sending more troops to Iraq. His presence or absence would have no impact on the outcome of the vote.   Chicago Sun-Times

  John McCain, you are a total asshole and do not deserve to be in office anymore much less a president of any nation seeing as how you have sold your soul to the devil just to be a leader somewhere!

   It may be a great thing that McCain will not be in D.C. for the Senate vote as that is one less for the GOP side. I suspect that at his old age, a six day work week is really taxing it a bit.
