A few more people get sick every week. More than 400 products have been recalled, and more products are recalled daily. And last week, the Georgia factory blamed for the outbreak recalled every product made since January 2007, so more items may be pulled from store shelves in coming weeks. http://www.physorg.com/news152808843.html Medicine & Health Mon, 02 Feb 2009 14:54:36 EST news152808843 It's as if the whole nation just acquired a peanut allergy.
