What did the hospital tests show as the pathogen? I just ate some with the same number you said, though it expires may 2025. Assuming they tested for microbial pathogens? This should definitely be reported to Hormel, your local board of health, maybe the FDA.
Was it the hormel or the peanut butter and how can peanut butter cause these symptoms??

Hi, thanks for your comment. TIP: Eating rancid peanut butter can lead to tummy troubles like cramps, diarrhea, or vomiting. In severe situations, it can also give you Salmonella. This can be life-threatening in extreme cases.
