Jif peanut butter recalled amid multistate salmonella outbreak

The J. M. Smucker Co. announced this week a recall of Jif peanut butter products sold in the U.S. due to potential salmonella contamination.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local partners are investigating a multistate outbreak of salmonella infections linked to certain products. The CDC said 14 illnesses had been reported, with two people needing hospitalization. 

The peanut butter was produced at the J.M. Smucker Company facility in Lexington, Kentucky and distributed nationwide. 

The illnesses have been reported in Washington, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.

Most people infected with salmonella will begin to develop symptoms 12 to 72 hours after infection. The illness, salmonellosis, usually lasts four to seven days and most people recover without treatment, according to the FDA

Most people with salmonellosis develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. More severe cases of salmonellosis may include a high fever, aches, headaches, lethargy, a rash, blood in the urine or stool, and in some cases may become fatal

J.M. Smucker Company has voluntarily recalled certain Jif brand peanut butter products that have the lot code numbers between 1274425 – 2140425, only if the first seven digits end with 425 (which means it was manufactured in Lexington). 

If consumers have products matching the below description in their possession, they should dispose of it immediately.
