The J.M. Smucker Co. issued a voluntary recall on May 20, 2022, for 49 Jif peanut butter products that may be contaminated with Salmonella. The recalled peanut butter products were sold in stores nationwide and are believed to have originated in the Lexington, Kentucky, facility.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), alongside the CDC, are investigating the Salmonella outbreak, which has impacted 12 states — including Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, Ohio, North Carolina, New York, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. There have been 14 reported cases of Salmonella and two hospitalizations caused by the outbreak.

The recalled Jif products have lot codes 1274425 through 2140425. If you have any Jif products in your pantry, even if not recently purchased, you should check the lot codes because the products have a two-year shelf life. Do not consume any recalled products and throw them away immediately. The recalled products include:

Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in children, elderly people, and people with weakened immune systems. The symptoms include fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In some rare cases, Salmonella can also cause more serious illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis.

If you are experiencing any symptoms, you should contact your health care provider immediately.

If you have any questions about the Jif recall or would like to report an illness or other adverse reaction, you can call 800-828-9980 or contact Jif through their Contact Us portal. You can also call the FDA's Consumer Complaint Coordinators to report an illness or complaint.
