[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 25758, member: 1697"] sure people do still have peanut butter from 2004. Especially older people........some older people used to buy things on sale and forget about them....You would be surprised the things you find when doing home health care. I had clients with canned soup from 1978. SOmetimes it was a matter of something getting shoved to the back repeatedly. We have things in our fridge, diff salad dressings that occasionally I go thru and check the dates and toss what is old becuz someone will decide they like some type and use some of it, get burned out on it and then not use it anymore. ALso people might have gotten sick previously on the peanut butter, but if it happened sporadically the "pros" would maybe not peice it together sooner. Salmonella is not always severe, - if the symptoms were mild, which was likely the case, people very likely never sought healthcare and never got tested to see what made them feel under the weather and they probably passed it off as a 24 hour flu bug or something. And many times normally healthy peoples bodies simply fight off some things without causing any outward symptoms at all, if they have heathy immune system. There are many many illnesses and bacteria etc that people get exposed to or fight off without ever even being aware they had been exposed or infected. SO it see3ms here where I am many people either did not hear about the recall, (maybe they do not read the paper, do not watch the news, maybe they were busy with day to day life- who knows the reason? and they continued to use their peanut butter after the recall? Or maybe they had already eaten some of it and had not noticed any illness symptoms so decided it would be silly to toss it, and I do not know if peanut butter is a great medium to grow salmonella or not, but maybe the salmonella was not solid thruout their jar? Or maybe after their jar was opened, maybe then it was able to grow even better and THEN the people got sick. I also do not know the incubation time for salmonella in the human body. [/QUOTE]
