Consumers and retailers alike have been eagerly anticipating the return of Peter Pan Peanut Butter, the brand that consumers have loved for nearly 80 years, and the wait is over.
We're especially pleased by the 100% satisfaction guarantee, because that means if we catch salmonella this time, we can get our peanut butter money back.

]]>Yay, No taint in the PB, I can once again, Put Peter back in my mouth!
]]>Thank you for contacting us regarding our voluntary recall for our peanut butter products.
Peter Pan Peanut Butter will begin appearing in stores in late summer. The first varieties that will be available to consumers will be Creamy and Chunky. At this time we do not have specifics about when other varieties will be back in stores.
Thank you for the loyalty to our brand.
Sincerely,
ConAgra Foods Consumer Affairs
]]>"this time with a "100% satisfaction guarantee" and a redesigned container.".
What you meant to say was that they came out with something than looks totally different than before so people dont look at it and say, "hey that was on the news a few months ago for Salmonella poisoning"..its called marketing..

In this interim period I've found Skippy to be a viable substitute for PP. Could never stand Jif...
True about upside down storage. I've never bought partially hydrogenated oil-influenced peanut butter. I grew up on natural pb, and as a child always felt envious of the other kids. But as an adult, I realize mom was helping me avoid the wicked TRANS FATS!

Finally - an excuse to go out in public wearing my green tights again!
@Antediluvian:
I feel so ashamed. I've been buying natural peanut butter for years and it has never ONCE occured to me to store it upside down. It just goes to show, no matter how smart you think you are, you're not. I'm going to slink off to the fridge now to store my peanut butter properly. Thanks for the enlightenment. :)
Store natural peanut butter upside-down in the fridge to keep the oil from rising to the surface.

]]>My wife had some pretty major difficulty during childbirth, requiring some Spartan-like swordplay from the OB. She's now taint free too.

Tylenol staged a successful comeback complete with beneficial improvements after the arsenic scare in the '80s. No reason to believe that Peter Pan peanut butter can't do the same.
I'm a Skippy man... always have been, always will be.

I love Peter Pan because it's the only kind I've found that comes in 'crunchy,' instead of 'ultra-mega-kill-you-crunchy XTreme edition Turbo,' where you open the jar and it's just peanuts.
Everybody buy Jif instead! Jif is tasty, lovable, and 100% salmonella-free!
(why no, I don't own stock in Smuckers... why do you ask?)
So, the Peanut Butter is for my taint?!?
]]>you only think your peanut butter isn't made from taint...
]]>an open note to consumerist community: submit comments once, not twice. is it really the end of the world if your precious post doesn't show up immediately? of course not. if for some reason you can't follow this simple advice, definitely don't post a comment about your duplicate post. we're not idiots. we can see you posted twice for some reason.
damn.
]]>"The plant also will receive a new roof and modern equipment."
So....the roof had holes, and they were using equipment that can't be considered "modern"?
]]>All men have taints.
]]>"Taint Free" sounds like it might be a medical condition.
]]>"Hey, some really bad stuff went down. But we fixed it. We took this problem seriously and now feel confident that our product is back to normal. And to prove it: look, we have a new design. Now it's *obvious* which is salmonella-free. So please enjoy our peanut butter and hopefully this won't happen again."
Notice how I said "in a perfect world."
]]>So how does ConAgra Foods protect their brand and spin the product re-launch without reminding consumers why there needs to be a re-launch in the first place?F that! Just gimmie muh freakin' peanut butter!
@SaveMeJeebus: It's the dark shade of brown it's in. As in "peanut butter isn't that brown" brown.
@Wormfather: Shutter? You're closing your windows because of peanut butter?
]]>Effing disappearing comments.
]]>Something about the words "taint free" on the bread disgusts me. Store brand PB&Js for me anyways thanks.
