re: PSA - Recall on JIF peanut butter

Thanks for posting. This probably explains all of us getting sick in the last couple of weeks at my house.

Last week I went through the Walmart self checkout and when I rang it up it flagged it. The lady came over and did an administrative bypass.

Did the same thing today and she came over and took it and told me about the recall. So, I basically had eaten an entire jar. No problems though…… yet

Glad I am cheap and buy Costco brand

What is this throw it away nonsense? I want a refund. A 2-pack isn't cheap!

I kept waiting to get through to the Jif recall site since while I won't go broke over $6 I expected that would give a coupon or something for a replacement since well it is only right. I just got through and this is what it says, emphasis mine:

---

Consumers who have impacted product should immediately dispose of the product.

However small the economic repercussions on an individual are Smuckers shouldn't be frickers about this. Own up and pay for your error. What if a low-budget institution had bought a bunch of the stuff to feed battered women or the homeless.

Have a jar between those lot numbers. But it’s already half gone and I haven’t had any problems. Might as well go ahead and finish it I guess

Saw that recall on my homepage yesterday and checked since the wife bought a new jar just a few weeks ago. The one she got is in those recall numbers and hadn't been opened.

So, I'll just toss it and get another the next time I hit the store.


Good heads-up to mention it on this site.

Am I the only chinzy frick that buys generic PB? Gotta save $ somehow plus you get those bonus Albertsons bucks for buying their Signature brand.

This thread made me realize how far below OT average my PB purchasing is….

My jar number is 200800111505 but the first 7 numbers fall within the parameters of the recall.

No, it's actually the first seven numbers when 425 are in the 5th to 7th position. Your jar is fine.
