A nationwide salmonella outbreak that started at a Georgia food plant is prompting the Food and Drug Administration to make some changes. Today the FDA announced it will investigate facilities that make peanut butter and similar products more often. Sylvester-based Con Agra admits high moisture at its plant near Albany allowed salmonella to get into some of its peanut butter, sold under the brands Peter Pan and Great Value. More than 400 people around the country got sick from eating it. The FDA says peanut butter will likely rise on its list of “high-risk” foods.
