CDC telephone helpline provides info about recalled peanut products 24-hours a day

List of peanut butter-containing products recalled because of concerns about Salmonella contamination grows.

To learn about the latest recalls go to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) update page, which includes a link to a searchable database of recalled products. 

Consumers can also call a helpline maintained by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) where operators can look up a product you have concerns about and tell you if it is on the FDA list.

The number is 1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636).

The line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
