Certain Jif peanut butter varieties recalled for potential salmonella contamination

WASHINGTON — Recently purchase a jar of Jif peanut butter? Double check the label: it might be involved in a recent recall. 

On Saturday, J.M. Smucker issued a voluntary recall for over 40 varieties of Jif products due to a potential salmonella contamination. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the recalled peanut butter was distributed nationwide in retail stores and other outlets. 

Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems, according to the FDA. Healthy persons infected with salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

Recalled products include the products below with lot codes 1274425 – 2140425. Lot codes are included alongside best-if-used-by date. 

The following varieties are included in the recall. Double check with this table from the FDA to confirm your purchased peanut butter has the right lot number.
