Some Districts Removing Peanut Products From School Menus

Growing concern over a national outbreak of salmonella poisoning has prompted some area school districts to banish peanuts and peanut-based products from school menus.

"We have removed all items with peanuts, peanut butter paste and peanut butter from all our venues, and products like cookies we have removed from our vending machines," said Cissy Bowman, spokesman for the Mt. Lebanon School District.

"[Our vendors'] products are not on the recall list but we are taking them out as a precaution,'' she said. Mt. Lebanon has cafeteria service at its high school and two middle schools.
