Since the inception of the most recent Peanut Butter outbreak, everyday reveals new and more troubling facts with more widespread and adverse consequences. Recently it’s been the criminal investigation, congressional hearings, an FBI raid, insurers trying to avoid coverage and then Peanut Butter Corp. Of America seeking bankruptcy.
Now, there is concern that Wiscosin’s West Side Soldiers Aide Society unknowingly sent U.S. troops boxes of high protein snacks which may contain contaminated peanut butter. The group was trying to help when they received word that the soldiers were loosing weight. After the products had been shipped, Sams Club called the group to report that the products may be contaminated. It has been reported that Officials don’t know if the packages have arrived yet because the soldiers are in a remote area in Afghanistan, but they are hoping to reach them before the peanut butter does. Sadly, the saga continues.
