The recall of the Peanut Corporation of America products has now been expanded to include ALL products produced at the plant dating back to Jan. 1, 2007. The FDA has released a detailed inspection report of the facility which found mold, roaches and other unsanitary conditions.

Two Little Debbie products are the latest in a string of voluntary recalls following the most recent guidance by health officials to avoid consumption of ice cream, cakes, cookies and other products containing peanut butter until health officials know more about the contamination that has sickened 470 people in 43 states.

As a precaution, consumers are advised not to eat peanut butter crackers made by Kellogg under the name Keebler or Austin.  Some of the ingredients come from the Georgia plant believed to be the source of a nationwide outbreak of salmonella that is linked to five deaths.
