[quote:Dale Gribble:MV8zNjkxMzZfNTk1OTA1NV9DNjU5QUQxRA==] [quote:Redheaded Stepchild] Ahhhhhh...but we dutifully turned in our "tainted" peanut butter like the good little lambies that we are, no? We didn't holler. We didn't refuse. We didn't ask for a full accounting of the science. We just went along....baaaaa...baaaaaaaaaa...and they did it to us so easy it wasn't funny. It was another test. They were testing us to see how we would comply when they set loose whatever it is they intend to use on us to get us quarantined. They wanted to see if we'd been conditioned enough to comply without question. They won't even have to harm us. All they'll have to tell us is, "Oh my gawd, there was a leaky roof at the XYZ center, and 3 people have died from this botchu-something-or-other and it's highly contagious and there's a risk of this deadly bio-chem killing thousands." Baaaaaa...baaaaaaaaaa...baaaaaaaaaa We are such freakin' morons. [/quote] You are so right... I was so blown away at how this unfolded and folded back up again... silenced! But hey, I'm still sitting on a half Jar of the proven culprit, just in case, and this jar has like a clump of dirt or something in the lower half, got to get it to the university lab for testing....

Anybody with half a brain knows that peanut butter does not have enough moisture content to support bacterial growth of anything. That is why you can spoon some out of a jar when you've had the spoon in your mouth, put the lid back on, and eat some more a week later. Bacteria cannot grow in it. Salmonella MUST grow to a critical level before it is capable of sickening a person. It cannot grow in peanut butter, let alone piping hot liquid peanut butter just squirted into a jar and sealed with foil and capped. How hot is liquid peanut butter? Heat some in a pan until it liquifies and measure the temp with a candy thermometer-likely well above 180 degrees F. Salmonella is killed at 165 degrees F. So now they say a "leaky roof" supplied moisture for the salmonella-sure. I guess it somehow penetrated the foil seals and lids to gain access to the stored peanut butter. Pretty dang stupid.
"When making peanut butter, the nuts are again heated - above the salmonella-killing temperature of 165 degrees - as they are ground into a paste and mixed with other ingredients before being squirted into jars and quickly sealed.
Experts had speculated that salmonella would be most likely to contaminate the peanut butter as it cools and is placed in jars. At most plants, those steps take just minutes."
You think scalding hot peanut butter cools down in "a few minutes?"
