But even people who are otherwise healthy may get quite sick from an infection, with symptoms including fever, diarrhea , nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
In some rare instances, the salmonella infection may even get into the bloodstream, leading to more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis..The recalled Jif peanut butter products have the lot codes 1274425 through 2140425. Lot codes are included alongside best-if-used-by date on the package. If you have any of the affected products, the recall notice urges you to throw them out immediately.
Some retailers that distributed the peanut butter are reaching out to customers to inform them of the recall.
