Cleaning up the recalls of products that were made with either peanut butter or peanut paste continues to be a major effort at the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

Almost 3,900 such products were recalled after Salmonella was discovered in late 2008 in peanut products made at the Blakely, GA and Plainview, TX processing plants owned by Peanut Corporation of America.

In this week’s enforcement report, FDA continues working with companies that are wrapping up their recall work.

Here’s the report:
