I am posting this in case people have the jars in their cabinets. I know I have 2 jars of the affected peanut butter. One of which is 1/2 empty from me feeding it to my kids. Looks like I am going to Wally World today for a refund:

Federal officials say a salmonella outbreak of nearly 300 patients in 39 states has been linked to a peanut butter produced in Georgia.
The Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in Washington is warning you not to eat certain jars of Peter Pan or Great Value Peanut Butter due to the risk of contamination. The FDA says the affected jars have a product code on the lid that begins with the number "2111."
The agency says both the Peter Pan and Great Value brands are manufactured at a single facility in Sylvester, Georgia by Conagra. Great Value Peanut Butter made by other manufacturers is *not* affected.
If you have a jar, officials advise you to throw it out or return it for a refund. The largest number of salmonella cases were reported in New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Tennessee and Missouri, but salmonella outbreaks have also been reported in Georgia.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it is believed to be the first salmonella outbreak associated with peanut butter.
Conagra says it is recalling products only as a precaution. At this moment, none of its tests have indicated the presence of salmonella.
