Salmonella in Almond and Peanut Butter ? How ?

Asked by Buttonstc (27605points) September 25th, 2012 from iPhone

After 29 people (many of whom were children) were sickened, Trader Joes voluntarily recalled the products in question.

But, how does Salmonella get into Peanut Butter in the first place? None of the news reports I saw and read mentioned that.

Should we be concerned with other major PB companies (Skippy, Jiff, etc.) as well ?

Evidently, they can’t eliminate it from eggs, regardless of which company sells them so is Peanut Butter next ?

Plus, with eggs, you can bypass the danger with proper cooking but obviously not with PB. So what’s going on here ?
