The Food and Drug Administration renewed its alert to consumers to not eat any products containing peanut butter or peanut paste as more products are added to a voluntary recall list, which now includes nearly 300 products, the Rhode Island Department of Health said today in a news release.

Commercial brands of jarred peanut butters are not included in the recall.

Six people have died and nearly 500 people nationwide have become ill from eating peanut butter or products containing peanut butter that are contaminated with a strain of salmonella. Four of those cases are from Rhode Island.
