CNN reports that emergency food packages distributed by FEMA in ice-hit Kentucky may contain recalled peanut butter products.

FEMA's written statement included:

Commercial meals kits manufactured by Red Cloud Food Services Inc., under the Standing Rock label, have been provided to disaster survivors in impacted communities, and these kits may contain peanut butter which is part of the precautionary national recall underway in accordance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

People who have received commercial meal kits are asked to inspect the kits in their possession and immediately dispose of any peanut butter packets.

A written statement might not be the best way to get this info out to the 200,000+ who are still without power in Kentucky.
