Various Jif peanut butter products are being withdrawn due to fears of potential salmonella contamination, JM Smucker said this weekend. The products were distributed in the United States and Canada and include creamy and crunchy peanut butter, natural honey, peanut oil for squeezing and other products.
Smucker lists the batch numbers and specific names of the affected Jif products in statements on its website for United States and Canada. You can find the batch code along with the date of the best shelf life of the product packaging, the company said.
Customers with affected Jif products should discard them immediately, Smucker said. People who have consumed affected Jif products should watch out for symptoms such as nausea; vomiting; diarrhea or bloody diarrhea; and abdominal cramps and fever, as well as muscle pain, eye irritation and urinary tract symptoms, the company said, adding that clients who experience such symptoms should contact a healthcare professional. Other information is provided in the statements related to the above.
“Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the weak or the elderly,” the company said in a statement.
