If you had salmonella, you'd know it. trust me.
of that i have no doubt but does the fact that I don't have it mean the jar i've been eating from is not contaminated?
Not necessarily. Consider it this way: salmonella is bacterial so it takes time for it to multiply and be found throughout the sample. The manufacturer found salmonella in its "quality control" sample and since they don't know specifically where in the process it entered the line, they have to call the whole lot bad.
If the bug was thin, as in not a lot to begin with, it will take time for it to multiply and you may not have found it yet. Or you may have a jar that really wasn't affected, but out of an abundance of caution was declared as contaminated.
The real question is: Are you willing to risk it?
