Rapid Response Helps Contain Outbreak Linked to Peanut Butter | cnbnews

The majority of those infected in the multi-state outbreak this fall of Salmonella Bredeney in peanut butter have been children under age 10. However, more people would have fallen ill if not for fast action by federal and state public health agencies.

Those actions culminated on Nov. 26, 2012 with FDA\’s suspension of the food facility registration for Sunland Inc., of Portales, N.M., which produced the peanut butter product linked to the outbreak—Trader Joe\’s Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter made with Sea Salt. Sunland will not be able to distribute food from this facility until the suspension is lifted.
