Just read an article on Food and Nutrition in WaPo with somewhat disturbing statistics based on a telephone survey. Though I don't have to worry about the salmonella outbreak because I have a peanut allergy (one reason not to pity me for my inability to enjoy peanut products), I have also been confused about the recalled products. The article above states that only 1 in 5 people have gone to the FDA's website to find out exactly what products have been recalled. And even if you don't have much faith in the FDA's ability to regulate food safety, believing that the products on the list are truly affected is at least erring on the side of caution.
