Jif’s Peanut Butter Recall Has Expanded to New Products

If you’ve already thrown out your Jif peanut butter, you might need to head back into your pantry. More items have been added to the recall.

This time, there’s a recall on certain candies and snack foods that were made with Jif products. While this recall isn’t quite as extensive, you should still check your pantry if you have purchased any of the brands included.

The new recalls are comprised of a multitude of brands with products that, in totality, reach across the country:

• Coblentz Chocolate Co: The brand is recalling chocolate, fudge, caramel corn, and assorted creams that all contained Jif and were sold between Nov. 12, 2021, and May 21, 2022. You can find the full list here.
• Garden Cut: Products pairing apple slices and celery with peanut butter have been recalled in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The FDA has a full list.
• Mary’s Harvest Fresh Foods: Jif peanut butter served with apple and celery slices have been recalled in Oregon and Washington. You can find more details here.
• Country Fresh: The brand is recalling fresh cut fruit-snack trays and fruit snack cups containing Jif peanut butter that were sold in Giant, Market32, Snack Fresh, Snack Sensations, and Wegmans.

Jif peanut butter was recalled late last week due to concerns over potential salmonella contamination. Multiple varieties were recalled, and you can check your pantry (if you haven’t already) by looking for Jif jars with lot code numbers starting at 127445 and extending through 2140425. The code numbers that include 425 in the 5th-7th digit spots are the ones recalled. However, you can also find a comprehensive list of products on the FDA website.
