Why Is Minnesota and Iowa Peanut Butter Recalled?

Officials with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Class II recall explaining "numerous peanut butter items produced by Ventura Foods LLC. after pieces of blue plastic were found in a filter during production." This includes more than 20,000 cases of single-serve peanut butter snacks and peanut butter-and-jelly combo packs.

I don't know about you, but I like eating my food without plastic.
