The National Peanut Board says retail sales scan data from Information Resources, Inc. shows some encouraging news for the industry. With the outbreak of salmonella linked to peanut products early in the year - confusion among consumers regarding which peanut products were safe resulted in a 19.42-percent drop in volume sales for jars of peanut butter in January when compared to January of 2008. While jarred peanut butter was never part of the recall - the National Peanut Board says peanut butter volume sales are now rebounding. With February 2009 data showing a decline of only .84-percent when compared with the previous year - and March data showing an increase in volume sales of 5.6-percent over March of 2008.
The National Peanut Board notes the data shows positive messages are at the core of market recovery. The Board has been reaching out to consumers and will continue doing so - working to restore confidence and give Americans permission to once again enjoy the numerous benefits of peanuts.
