I have been looking for a report on Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips. Have they experienced any recall? Thank you.
I, too, have been wondering about Reeses Peanut Butter Chips. Have they been recalled?
Thanks
I’m also wondering if Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips have been recalled. I thought I had stomach flu beginning January 3. I felt better and ate some chips for protein, after which I again experienced violent nausea, chills, and diarrhea. I repeated this pattern of ‘feeling somewhat better, eating a few Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips for protein, and later becoming terribly ill’ a couple of times before I connected it to possible food Salmonella. After I had been to the local ER twice on January 6 – early morning and again at midnight, I checked the Internet and found the peanut butter problem and I stopped eating the Reese’s chips. However, I was not able to eat a regular meal until January 13. I had people tell me I would be dead if the chips contained Salmonella, but my consumption was a small amount. I kept the remainer of the package to see if and when the Hershey’s Reese’s are added to the recall list. Would any lab want them? I’d be interested to hear if others have had a problem.
