MIDLAND - Local food banks like the Salvation Army and Helping Hands of Midland aren't taking any chances.

"We do stock peanut butter. We buy our peanut butter from the West Texas Food Bank. However, all that food is USDA inspected," Mary Hardin with Helping Hands of Midland, said.

"We don't receive a lot of donations with products made of peanut butter like cookies, cakes, and things like that , but we do receive real peanut butter in the jar and we usually purchase that ourselves," Major Carl Hughes with the Salvation Army, said.
