On what date did the recent peanut butter recall begin?

Question by BeamMeUpMom: On what date did the recent peanut butter recall begin?

I bought some recently which has the recalled product code. However, I think I bought it after the recall began and assumed it would be safe since it wasn’t recalled. Now I’m annoyed. What day did the recall begin, anyway?
I bought my jar on the 10th or 11th of Feb. I’m wondering if it was recalled anywhere before this date.

I remember hearing about the recall of Peter Pan and thought “see….brand name doesn’t necessarily equal quality or safety” I didn’t know it was the stuff from Wal-Mart too until after we started eating it. oops.
Oh, I absolutely threw it out. My husband has a compromised immune system because he has rheumatoid arthritis. RA is often treated with immuno-supressants. I kept the lids, of course, and they are being returned for a refund.
Understand the question. I want to know when it started BECAUSE I want to know if the store where I bought my peanut butter at had kept the recalled peanut butter on its shelves after the recall. So, YES, it does matter because I assumed what was on the shelves was NOT recalled when I was buying my peanut butter.

I’m an educated person I know time doesn’t change the contents of a jar. Sheesh!

Are US companies going to begin “moving” back to US to avoid the recalls?

Question by Secret Squirrel: Are US companies going to begin “moving” back to US to avoid the recalls?

Companies that were ‘household names’ for decades are issuing recalls for their products that were once produced in US.When they abandoned this country for tax incentives and cheap (child) labor they saw the “savings” and crowed about how they made their investors more money.
China has exported faulty products made by ‘American’ companies that are poisonous,defective,and downright dangerous to folks…what do you propose the consumer do?
Can Americans stop buying foreign or do the Chinks hold the upper hand here?

Answer by Ken
The only thing that will make companies come back to America is if people stand up and say we are only buying american made products (or we are NOT buying Chinese products). The recalls that we hear about are few, what about all the ones that we do not hear about? What do you think is getting in our food that is coming from foreign countries?
