As a PIG (poor Indian graduate) student living in the US on a limited budget, I still remember the times when all I had in my food cabinet was bread and peanut butter. Often, in between paychecks, literally speaking, this was my bread and butter.

Peanut butter and bread for breakfast, lunch and dinner was the norm rather than the exception. Easy and cheap - desi ishtyle. I still consume peanut butter, with my newly acquired taste for jelly. So the new warning issued by CDC on peanut butter has rather ominous implications for my penchant for peanut butter, especially since that is my brand of peanut butter.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — ConAgra Foods Inc. is recalling Peter Pan Peanut Butter and Great Value Peanut Butter for possible salmonella contamination, officials said Wednesday.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has linked 288 cases of food-borne illness in 39 states to consumption of varying types of Peter Pan peanut butter, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Great Value manufactured at the same plant in Georgia, could carry a similar risk of contamination, the center said. Great Value peanut butter made by other manufacturers is not affected.
