Source of Salmonella Is Confirmed

The source of a salmonella outbreak that sickened almost 500 people around the country and is linked to six deaths is a peanut processing plant in Blakely, Ga., health officials confirmed. The plant is owned by the Peanut Corporation of America. More than 125 products have been recalled, including cookies, cakes, candy, prepared dinners and even dog treats. A list of recalled products is on the Food and Drug Administration’s Web site, fda.gov. Health officials warned consumers to check the site before eating anything that might contain peanut products. No peanut butter jars sold in supermarkets come from the plant, officials said.
