The ConAgra Foods plant in Sylvester, Georgia, was inspected by company and government scientists. They were trying to find the cause of the salmonella contamination that led to a peanut butter recall. The Peter Pan brand and some of Walmart's Great Value brand were linked to a nationwide outbreak of salmonella cases, and those brands of peanut butter was recalled. The plant in Sylvester, Georgia has been shut down. Salmonella is a dangerous bacteria that generally comes from the feces of birds and animals. Officials have indicated that dirty jars or equipment may be a possible cause of the contamination.
