Got a jar of it in my desk right now with a code starting 2111633xxxxx. I've eaten maybe 1/4 of it but haven't really felt ill. Apparently, my grocery store will give you a new jar if you just bring in the lid from the bad batch. I'm not too worried about getting sick but I likely won't eat this jar. Not worth risking.

It's true. Store-bought PB is full of sugar and oil.
PB at home takes 3 minutes to make. All you need is a jar of roasted low-sodium peanuts and a food processor. It tastes great.

Is the product code on the top of the lid?

The sugar is what makes it good. 😀
I got some of the natural peanut butter, the stuff without hydrogenated oils - it also came without sugar. I fixed that. 🙂
A question about the natural peanut butter - it says to stir and refrigerate. Do they recommend refrigeration just to prevent the oil from separating again, or is it to maintain freshness? If it's only to prevent separation, will my addition of sugar mean that I should keep it refrigerated regardless?

I had my first "fluffernutter" sandwich just about a month ago, so now I have a reason to buy peanut butter.
Its recommended to refrigerate peanut butter in general, because there is some kind of cancerous bacteria that can grow in it if not refrigerated... I forget what its called and too lazy to look it up. Refrigerating helps it from growing though. But refrigerating it makes it too hard to spread - it just chews the bread up if you use soft bread, so I live dangerously and keep it in the pantry.
The natural stuff its specifically recommended to refrigerate to keep the oil from re-seprating. Though you can just stir it up a bit before using if you keep it out of the fridge and its been a while since you last used it.

We have 3 jars of peter pan peanut butter.. all 3 have the 2111 code on the lid and one of the smooth and the crunchy are both 3/4 gone.
Throw them away they say? LOL.. no freaking way. Those things cost like 2 bucks a jar. The peter pan peanut butter company should be reimbursing us for these. 6 bucks is a lot of money to some.
EDIT BELOW:
While this affects Great Value Peanut Butter beginning with product code 2111, there are other manufacturers of Great Value Peanut Butter that are not affected by this recall.
and
If consumers have this product, they should discard it, but save the product lid. For a full refund, consumers must return the Peter Pan Peanut Butter or Great Value Peanut Butter product lid along with their name and mailing address to ConAgra Foods, P.O. Box 3768, Omaha, NE 68103.

thank g-d i hate pb&j.
That was just the first article that came up when I googled it. Just google for: peanut butter aflatoxin and you'll get a gazillion results. (ok, approximately 52,000 according to google).

Maybe that first link makes a bigger deal out of it than it really is, but perusing some of the other articles, it seems its a legitimate concern. All I did was say that its recommended to refrigerate it. Obviously I'm not too worried about it since I said I don't even bother refrigerating mine when I even knew about this beforehand, but its at least worth keeping in mind just in case it does have some merit to it. Apparently there is enough merit to warrant 52,000 google results about it.

I have two containers of Peter Pan that start in 2111. One I'm almost done with and has got to be a couple months old minimum. The other I bought Monday. That makes me believe they have absolutely no idea when the contamination happened, or really what's going on.
I'm going to go have a spoonful from the opened container to celebrate this thread.
