Pan Peanut Butter and Great Value Peanut

Butter Products

Beginning with Product Code 2111 Recalled for Possible Salmonella

Contamination

OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 14, 2007--ConAgra Foods today

announced that it has taken the precautionary measure of voluntarily

recalling all varieties of Pan Peanut Butter and Great Value Peanut

Butter beginning with product code 2111 imprinted on the lid of both brands.

ConAgra Foods is working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to

investigate a statistical report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention (CDC) that these products may be linked to the foodborne

illness salmonella.

While this affects Great Value Peanut Butter beginning with product

code 2111, there are other manufacturers of Great Value Peanut Butter that

are not affected by this recall.

" Although none of our extensive product tests have indicated the

presence of salmonella, we are taking this precautionary measure because

consumer health and safety is our top priority, " said Kircher,

spokesperson for ConAgra Foods. " We are working closely with the FDA to

better understand its concerns, and we will take whatever additional

measures are needed to ensure the safety, quality and wholesomeness of our

products. "

If consumers have this product, they should discard it, but save the

product lid. For a full refund, consumers must return the Pan Peanut

Butter or Great Value Peanut Butter product lid along with their name and

mailing address to ConAgra Foods, P.O. Box 3768, Omaha, NE 68103.
