They're so good as a garnish, not just snacking, and many cuisines use them as an ingredient. Seems these recalls always involve things I take for granted. I agree, Tess.

I never did anything with the peanuts because it's mostly processed foods involved but also because the msm were all over it. This struck me as one that might slip through the cracks or not get nearly as much attention. Yes, indeed, organics went through that plant. Ditto the tainted spinach two summers ago; much of it was organic. I read a good piece somewhere recently (NYT or WP I think, I'm too tired to dig it out) that stressed the fact that organic does not mean pure. You’re most welcome.
