Health officials are telling nursing homes, hospitals, schools and restaurants to throw away containers of peanut butter that have been linked to the 43-state salmonella outbreak. The peanut butter, manufactured by Lynchburg-based Peanut Corp. of America and distributed by King Nut Cos. of Solon, Ohio, was recalled by the distributor. It was distributed to food-service providers and not sold directly to consumers.

Minnesota officials found a match this weekend between samples from an open King Nut container and the strain of salmonella bacteria that has made people sick nationwide. And a Minnesota health department spokesman said that all of the patients in that state had consumed peanut butter, with most eating the same brand.
