Peanut butter is a staple of my food program because it has healthy fats, good protein and tastes great. You just have to remember to measure out your portion when you first start using it & learn from that. BUT, with this nationwide recall of peanut butter (PB), PB & peanut paste products & many other food items that just have some form of these products in it even when the name does not reflect that, we have to be very careful!!!!Please click on the link below from the Hungry Girl site, scroll down towards the bottom & read the many links on the PB recall. There is the FDA letter, new recalls and a complete list of all recalled products to date!!!! Read it here:
I eat a product called PowerPB that is great & has a good amount of protein in it. It is "fortified with flax seed, flax oil and other proteins to provide all the protein and essential fats. PowerButter is all-natural, contains no cholesterol, no trans fatty acids and is high in protein and essential Omega-3 and Omega-6". I wrote them & got a letter back stating that none of their products are on the recall list & in fact, they do not do business with or are affiliated in any way with Peanut Corporation of America. Check out their products at http://powerbutter.com/index.html
