(WTNH) - An expanding peanut butter recall may limit your choices as you pack your child's lunch this morning.

The state Department of Consumer Protection is urging consumers to avoid all peanut butter products. That's because peanut butter tainted with salmonella has sickened about 500 people in 43 states. Most who became sick ate products containing peanut butter, not by eating it straight out the jar.

The tainted peanut butter has been tracked back to the Peanut Corporation of America, a distributor in Georgia.

As a result, many companies that product products containing peanut butter have issued recalls.
