Food kits distributed by FEMA as part of a disaster relief effort in Kentucky and Arkansas may contain some of that awesome salmonella peanut butter we’ve been hearing so much about.

CNN says:

Jay Blanton, spokesman for Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, said late Wednesday: “We just received this information from FEMA. Tonight, out of an abundance of caution, we are in the process of finding alternative sources of food for people in shelters. The Kentucky National Guard is starting to notify people who’ve already received the (meal kits) or might be getting one.”

The meals have a variety of main dishes, but all apparently contain peanut butter packets. Do not eat.
