If you've had the munchies lately, you may have noticed that some of your favorite organic peanut butters are still missing from the grocery store. As it turns out, that could very well be the case for months to come.

This was after 41 cases of salmonella sickness were tied to contaminated peanut products from the plant.
Here to talk about the shutdown is Marion Nestle, professor of food politics at NYU.
