The Pan Is Back!

Remember all those many months ago when Peter Pan Peanut Butter was found to contain harmful bacteria and all the jars, whether it was part of the recalled lot or not, were pulled from the shelves? I do. I had one of those jars and had been eating from it. Fortunately, I did not get ill, but it was with a heavy heart that I threw that jar of peanut butter away and bought a jar of Jiff from the shelves with the big empty spaces where Peter Pan used to be.

The company promised to hunt down the problem (leaky water pipes in the factory) and start new production in July. Well my friends that promise has come to bear on the shelves of Kroger in Houston, Texas.

Today I saw Peter Pan Peanut Butter on the shelves. Crunchy and creamy. Only small jars, but I didn’t care. I bought two, brought them home and opened one immediately. Taking a knife from the draw, I scooped some out and ate it straight from the jar.

Can I tell you it was a little bit of heaven in my mouth? Jiff was okay, but nothing can compare to the richness and flavor on Peter Pan.

Zip-a-dee-do-dah!
