Usually this kinda sorta thing happens in MEAT, FISH & POULTRY PRODUCTS & BY-PRODUCTS, yes? NOT a VEGAN product like THIS.... http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2007-02-14-salmonella-peanut-butter_x.htm It MAY be because of "dirty equipment", yes.. But there's a SLIVER of DOUBT towards THAT theory IMHO.... After all, there HAVE been concerns over "Terrorist Threats To The Food Supply" in the wake of 9/11.... And THIS **COULD VERY WELL** be ONE of them.. I think that Homeland Security should consider doing research on this, and see what results........... Just my tuppence, m8's..
