If a patient has peanut butter-containing products (such as cookies, crackers, cereal, candy and ice cream), can they eat them?
A searchable list of products and brands associated with the Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) recall can be found on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Web site at http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/peanutbutterrecall/index.cfm. If you do not find the product on FDA’s Web site, call the toll-free number on the food package or visit the company’s Web site. If you cannot determine if the peanut butter-containing products or institutionally-served peanut butter contains PCA peanut butter/peanut paste, it is recommended that the product not be consumed until more information becomes available about which brands may be affected.
