Peanut recall - updated list
President Obama wants to be sure his kids have safe peanut butter to eat. He does not want to worry. Neither do most of us. The last administration chose to not staff the FDA food inspectors choosing to reduce that number.
That's why it is so nice to have a caring parent in the White House - one who sees his own children as reflective of all nations' children - deserving and needing untainted food.
Here is the FDA update list - just for teh peanut recall - it's very long! http://cli.gs/ZjeYTe
