Which peanut butter products are OK?

I wondered how the Peanut trade groups were dealing with this situation.  The American Peanut Council posts lists of products that are not affected by the recalls–at least not yet.

Great blog.Today’s news is that the Georgia plant apparently knowingly shipped contaminated product, and apparently used a private lab that gave negative results for salmonella after the plant’s own in-house tests were positive. I wondered about the insurance issues for the plant. Since there was a salmonella in peanut butter event a few years ago, I wondered what requirements the Georgia plant’s insurance carrier would have for testing, if any. Could the outside lab tests have been done to satisfy their insurer rather than some other purpose? I think the insurance issue is interesting in light of the lack of meaningful government oversight. Would appreciate any thoughts on this.
