FDA announces additional Jif peanut butter recalls. What you need to know
This Miami company’s snacks are part of the Jif peanut butter recall. What to look for.
The most recent ripple recalls from the salmonella problems at the Lexington, Kentucky facility where Jif peanut butter is made reached convenience stores nationwide, Walgreens in New York and New Jersey, and stores in the Maryland and Washington, D.C., area.
By the CDC’s count, salmonella strikes 1.35 million Americans each year, hospitalizes about 26,500 and kills 420. Most at risk for the worst effects are senior citizens, children under 5 and those with damaged immune systems. Most people get fever, vomiting, stomachaches and diarrhea that starts around 12 to 72 hours after eating the tainted food and runs for four to seven days.
The most recent CDC update on this outbreak says 16 people, two of whom have been hospitalized, have been sickened in 12 states. There have been no deaths.
If you have any of the below products, don’t eat them. Throw them away and contact the manufacturer or store where you bought them for a refund.
