AB  - A girl known to be allergic to peanuts experienced a mild allergic reaction after 
      eating sunflower butter, a peanut butter facsimile prepared from sunflower nuts. 
      After learning that the same manufacturing plant also produced peanut butter, we 
      examined several sunflower butter preparations for peanut butter contamination by 
      a solid-phase radioimmunoassay which used naturally-occurring immunoglobulin E 
      (IgE) antibodies from known peanut-sensitive individuals. Peanut butter 
      contamination, ranging from 0.3 to 3.3%, was found in six of eight sunflower 
      butter samples, including both creamy and chunky varieties, and including lots 
      prepared with either peanut oil or palm oil. We concluded that inadequate 
      cleaning of food processing machines following peanut butter production permitted 
      the contamination by peanut butter of subsequent jars of sunflower butter in 
      amounts which could pose risks to peanut-sensitive individuals.
