JIF ISSUES VOLUNTARY RECALL OF CERTAIN PEANUT BUTTER PRODUCTS DUE TO POTENTIAL SALMONELLA CONTAMINATION
The impacted products had been sold in many well known stores, from Wawa to retail behemoth Walmart. Albertsons Cos., one of the largest food and drug retailers in the nation, also issued a recall for 11 store-prepared items that were sold at over 20 of its grocery stores. This includes Albertsons, Safeway, Pak 'N Save, Shaw's, Star Market, Randalls, Vons and Balducci's.
To date, none of the companies has reported any illnesses or injuries in relation to their products. However, federal health officials have been investigating the outbreak that has been linked to certain Jif products produced at the company's facility in Lexington, Kentucky, according to the FDA. "Epidemiologic and laboratory data show that some Jif brand peanut butters may be contaminated with Salmonella Senftenberg and are making people sick," the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a noticeTo date, 14 people have fallen ill and two others have been hospitalized. However, the actual number of people sick is likely "much higher," according to the CDC.
