D.C. groups pulling peanut butter products from their meal programs

A jelly sandwich just isn’t the same, but two D.C. agencies have pulled peanut butter and all products containing peanut butter from their food programs.

Responding to the national recall of peanut butter produced by the Peanut Corporation of America at its Blakely, Ga., processing plant, the D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation announced Friday that it will no longer offer any peanut butter products in meals served through the Child and Adult Care Food Program. The program is managed by DPR’s Office of Food and Nutrition Services.
