I thought Obama was supposed to stop these things from happening?

It was all Bush's fault a few years ago. Whose is it now?

And, isn't the very agency charged with inspections the very agency that Republican are attempting to defund? Isn't it the proposed new inspection regime that the Republicans have been fighting tooth and nail?

Just to help out, the answer to the two question is yes, so let's stop playing the game of blaming Obama for actions on the part of the Federal government that you oppose in the first place.

I like how people blame whoever they like without bothering to pay attention to anything else.

The act was passed Jan 4th, 2011. FDA Food Safety Modernization Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The shelf life of peanut butter is on average 9 months. Can Peanut Butter Go Bad? | Life's Little Mysteries

For skippy/Jiff/Peter Pan peanut butter, pasteurized and full of preservatives, is 18 months.
What is the shelf life of skippy peanut butter when you order it in bulk quanities?

Kind of makes me happy I eat organic peanut butter.

When and where did I say I oppose the Federal government?

Don't be silly; it's all still Bush's fault.

A few days ago I sent an email to the White House concerning odd lumps I had in my jar of Skippy. After all, such things have got to be the president's fault, right? Then I realized that I'd mistakenly bought the crunchy brand and the lumps were peanut chunks. But earlier today I had a wheel fall off my computer chair, a chair that was only three months old. Undeterred by my peanut butter misjudgement, I fired off another White House-bound email. Let's see him get out of that one.

I don't understand the fuss. So what if peanut butter has some salmonella in it? After all, salmon is supposed to be very good for you (oils and such) and I suppose that salmonella simply means little or baby salmon, or some of the more 'delicate' pieces of the fish.

True, I prefer my peanut butter without any fish parts in it at all. However, I am not adverse to my chunky peanut butter being made up of small chunks of salmon, although I would much prefer fried catfish (I'm a southerner, you know).

I guess that Skippy should put on the jars "Warning! This peanut butter is processed in a plant that also processes fish; some intermingling may occur".
