The famous Keebler elves are probably in shock. Their cookies are on a list of 3,222 products
recalled by the federal government since January because they were made with peanut butter paste tainted with Salmonella Typhimurium. It came from a plant in Georgia – Peanut Corporation of America – that has since declared bankruptcy. Questions about products should be directed to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration since the company no longer takes calls from consumers. The FDA has created a special web page where the public can research products by brand name, UPC Code and product description or any combination of the three. The government agency plans continuous updates to the site. As of March 9, 2009, its list included hundreds of America’s favorite foods, including ice cream, candy, cookies, brownies, cakes, pies and donuts. If any of these products have made you sick, you may be eligible for legal action against the manufacturer of the peanut butter paste.
