I heard that the Salmonella strain found in the contaminated batches of peanut butter did not match with anything from the Samuya factory. Odd.

A little bird told me that the Salmonella strain found in the contaminated peanut butter did not match anything from the Samuya factory. Suspicious.

Just wanted to let you know that we are at the final stage of the passage of the BFAD strengthening bill. I sponsored this some time ago and it is now in bicam where the house and senate versions are being reconciled. This bill, when it becomes law is intended to upgrade BFAD’s capabilities (equipment, personnel etc) so it can do a better job in ensuring the quality of our medicine, food, cosmetics and medical devices.
This wont solve our problems but its a step in the right direction towards the improvement of healthcare in our country.

I’ m sorry to say this DoH and BFAD killed the peanut butter industry in the Philippines for the sake of political gains. I don’t state this comment not because i m related or kin of Samuya manufacturers. Thank you and GOD BLESS!

I was never a fan of peanut butters although I’ve heard and seen on TV what salmonella can do to you. Even if Ludy’s Peanut Butter didn’t have salmonella contamination, I still wouldn’t buy it. I mean, look at that processor they have. It seems rusty and very discouraging to buy from them. But as it is in the Philippines, cost cutting sacrifices quality assurance.. or at least it seems so.

oh I don’t have a backyard enough to grow organic foods. Maybe it is about time we make our own preserves or processed foods.

random inspection would be ideal.
