Well, see... nuts count as meat on the food pyramid.
Apparently they're poultry. Thus, they were shipping raw/undercooked peanut butter.

Cow, poultry and pig farms near peanut fields probably. With the lettuce and spinach scares, feral pigs brought nastyness from Cow fields over to the vegetable fields. If I recall correctly.

Salmonella can be transferred through water, too, so it could have been something used in the processing of the peanuts/peanut butter.
There were some salmonella tainted almonds grown in California a few years ago; even though they identified where the contaminated almonds were grown, apparently they could never track the initial source of the bacteria. It affected people who ate the nuts raw.

I think it is from the farm raised salmon.

NPR mentioned yesterday that scientists thought the plastic bottles may have been improperly cleaned prior to filling and packaging.
