Jif’s creamy, crunchy, natural and reduced fat peanut butters have been linked to a salmonella outbreak across 12 states that has left 14 ill, with two people being hospitalized. Side effects from salmonella poisoning include fever, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
The J.M. Smucker Co. announced a voluntary recall Friday of some Jif peanut butter products for potential salmonella contamination. Jars with lot codes 1274425 through 2140425 have been recalled and should be disposed, the company said.
Jif is sold at retailers nationwide. States reporting salmonella cases are Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, Ohio, North Carolina, New York, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington.
Why do you have a photo of Skippy’s peanut butter if the recall is in JIF’s?
Why a Skippy picture?
Typical sloppy, lazy, and irresponsible “journalism”
The depicted Skippy is not Jif peanut butter.
Ok use this as a test for more essential items. Let’s now see if the fda can successfully ensure it’s produced safely without disrupting supply chains. Yes it’s small too n terms of formula but it’s our chance to implement new ways of approaching these issues vs shut down skimpy for 6 months and no peanut butter
The story is about Jif but yet you have a picture of Skippy!?!?!??
TRUTH IN JOURNALISM WOULD BE NICE.
They didnt pay up the fda mafia?
Jiffy peanut butter never had problems with salmonella poisoning when Trump was president.
