Development of american peanut butter

Americans are concerned about one of their major beloved treats: peanut butter. In March 2009 over 15,000 tons of peanut butter made by the Peanut Corporation of America were recalled, along with other thousands of products, from brownies to ice cream to cereals, and even dog treats that controlled peanut butter. The situation was not singular - cases of product contaminated with salmonella were reported since 1985, and instead of declining, the instances only grew: from 168,000 cases in 1985, to 224,000 in 1993 and over 300,000 in 2008 - and products containing infested peanut butter are amongst the major causes in this development.

Peanut butter is a main aliment for children’s menus in schools and kindergartens as well; many households cannot imagine breakfast without it and many charity organizations, including the Salvation Army, count peanut butter as a main ingredient to feed the poor. But the FDA didn’t make any current updates on the recalls, and the industry keeps quiet about the case - so the consumers are obviously worried that another salmonella outbreak will follow if the U.S. Food and Drug Administration don’t get funds for inspections.
