Regarding Most Peanut Butter scares:
Let us consider the facts to remove the irrational fear.
Salmonella:
1) probably the most common cause of food borne illness.
2) CARRIED by almost 20 percent of people (bacteria lives in their intestines without causing symptoms)
3) present on almost every surface in the average home at low levels
4) does not typically survive at a pH below 5.5 (adults have a stomach pH of 2-3, or 3-5 after a large meal; infants tend to have a pH of 4-5 for the first 6 months of life)
5) does not survive 131* F for 60 minutes, 140* F for 30 minutes, 167* F for 2 minutes
Salmonellosis:
1) caused by proliferation of salmonella in the gastric tract
2) less than 0.029% fatal in the US (1% in undeveloped countries)
3) fatality is usually caused by dehydration
This information is provided to remind people that salmonella in your peanut butter is not a real hazard, unless you eat gorge on it negating your body's stomach acid protection. Children should eat smaller portions of all raw or ready-to-eat foods since these are more likely to be contaminated at higher levels than food prepared in the home.
Don't believe the hype. News is all about fear-mongering. You are more likely to die from an accidental overdose of vitamin supplements than from salmonella in your peanut butter.

Nestle (Baby Ruth) doesn't purchase from Peanut Corporation of America anyway. Neither does Hershey's buy from PCA, so Reese's Peanut Butter Cups should be OK, too.
