    Company Announcement


    The company has issued a correction to the previous announcement.




    The J. M. Smucker Co. is recalling select Jif® peanut butter products sold in the U.S. due to potential Salmonella contamination. 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. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

    The recalled peanut butter was distributed nationwide in retail stores and other outlets. Recalled products include the products below with lot codes 1274425 – 2140425. Lot codes are included alongside best-if-used-by date.

    A CDC food safety alert regarding a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Senftenberg infections


    Media Statement
    For Immediate Release: Monday, May 23, 2022
    Contact: Media Relations
    (404) 639-3286

    A CDC food safety alert regarding a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Senftenberg infections has been posted: https://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/senft...-22/index.html

    Key points:
    • Fourteen people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella have been reported from 12 states. Two people have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.
    • The true number of sick people is likely higher than the number reported, and the outbreak may not be limited to the states with known illnesses. This is because some people recover without medical care and are not tested for
    • Interviews with ill people and laboratory data suggest some Jif brand peanut butters may be contaminated with Salmonella and making people sick. Four of five people interviewed reported eating different types of Jif brand peanut butter before getting sick.
    • On May 20, J.M. Smucker Company recalled multiple Jif brand peanut butter types, including creamy, crunchy, natural, and reduced fat. Recalled products include lot codes 1274425–2140425, with “425” at the end of the first seven numbers.
    • Investigators are working to identify whether additional products are contaminated.
    • See recall noticeexternal icon for packaging sizes, descriptions, and product codes.

    What You Should Do:
    • Do not eat, sell, or serve recalled Jif brand peanut butter. Throw it away. This product has a very long shelf life, so be sure to check any Jif peanut butter you have at home to make sure it has not been recalled.
    • Wash surfaces and containers that may have touched the recalled peanut butter using hot soapy water or a dishwasher.
    • Contact a healthcare provider if you think you got sick from eating a recalled product.

    About Salmonella:
    • Most people infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps 6 hours to 6 days after being exposed to the bacteria.
    • The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days, and most people recover without treatment.
    • In some people, the illness may be so severe that the patient is hospitalized. In rare cases, Salmonella infection may spread from the intestines to the bloodstream and then to other parts of the body.
    • Children younger than 5, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to have severe illness.

    If you have questions about cases in a particular state, please call that state’s health department.

          The Jif peanut butter recall is pulling a cascade of other products from store shelves
          By Bill Chappell/NPR

          The Jif peanut butter recall has rapidly expanded in the past week and it now affects at least 69 other products. The cascading effect is due to the many companies who use the peanut butter in their own chocolates, peanut butter sandwiches and more...

          ...The recall goes beyond U.S. borders


          The companies and brands issuing Jif-related recalls include Wawa, Country Fresh, the Coblentz Chocolate Company, and Walmart and Fudgeamentals. While some products reached shelves in only a handful of states, many of them were distributed nationwide.

          The recall also goes beyond U.S. borders. Based on information Smucker provided on Monday, the products in its Jif recall were also sent to around 10 countries, from Canada and the Dominican Republic to Thailand and Japan, according to the FDA. It’s investigating the outbreak along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention other agencies.
          So far, reports of illness are limited


          The first person in the outbreak fell ill on Feb. 17. In all, the FDA and CDC say, 14 people have gotten sick from the salmonella outbreak, spanning 12 states. Those figures haven’t changed since the Jif recall was announced, but the CDC warns that “the true number of sick people in an outbreak is also likely much higher than the number reported,” because many people recover without medical help.

          The CDC also notes that there’s normally a 2-4 week delay in determining if someone is part of an outbreak, meaning more recent cases simply might not have made it onto investigators’ radar yet...

              3 more products recalled due to Jif peanut butter salmonella outbreak investigation

              INDIANAPOLIS — The Jif Peanut Butter salmonella outbreak investigation continues to have a trickle-down effect, prompting another 3 product recalls.

              The latest recalls involve two snack boxes and chocolates. All three products somehow involve Jif peanut butter. The peanut butter was recalled after multiple reports of people that ate peanut butter before becoming ill with salmonella.

              The latest recalls come from Bix Produce Company, A G Specialty Foods Inc., and Euphoria Chocolate Company. The products include an egg and cheese curds power box, a variety of snack products, and several varieties of chocolate....
