@shoesnbags- I'm not sure, but I was afraid that it wasn't totally clear and took me a bit to figure out WHICH number they were talking about.

At first, I had scrolled down to find 'Jif Creamy 28oz' and saw one thing, then I realized it's those numbers I bolded and show on my jar, just below bb.

Sorry if I made it confusing.
@chickenbutt
You didn't make it confusing at all! The official recall notice is confusing because the chart shows one thing and the wording says another. You did us all a favor by notifying us, and I sincerely thank you for that. You'd think this would be publicized more, given how popular peanut butter is.

@shoesnbags Thanks! That's very kind. I was also confused when I first saw it. I thought those numbers alongside each variety was the number at first and that didn't make sense.

Then I read it again and it dawned on me what numbers they were referencing. d'oh!

I agree with you that peanut butter is a popular item and I was shocked this morning when I saw this (on another board to which I've belonged for a long, long time) and felt I needed to share it here if nobody yet had.

I can't even remember if I have had salmonella at any point in my life, but I do have a feeling that it's very much NOT fun!

I realize that I have one larger jar that I got earlier on. It's one of those GIF/JIF special edition jars they sold a short while back. I've had it in a cool place, in a L&L container and I pulled it out. It has a best by date of 1/2022, but it seems fine so I think I'll not worry about getting more yet and use that one. Unless it looked weird, smelled weird, or tasted weird, I cannot imagine anything is wrong with it.

@shoesnbags @Lot code is different than the UPC code. 425 is the affected lot.

Oh, I know. That's why I thought it was confusing for the chart to show UPC codes instead of the lot codes that we were supposed to be checking. BTW I always appreciate the way you are on top of these things and let us know about other recalls.

It seems to be an everyday thing now.

Thank God! I have a 2 pack of 48 oz,creamy that I have just opened and would have

gone ballistic if I had to throw it away! I just tossed close to 7.5 lbs of ground beef last month because I couldn't trace the lot numbers so I had to be safe.

My Jif is not on the list so I an good---but telling people to dispose of food immediately

and not offering replacement or refund is ridiculous. Especially in this time of runaway inflation! The hamburg was close to $30.00 and the Jif would have been $8.00

That hurts when you are on a limited income!

Just my anxious mind but if it were me I would dispose of any jar of Jiffy I had and not depend on lot numbers. No point in taking chances and I would feel much better not eating any Jiffy for awhile. If I ate any I would worry and look for issues to appear whether they did or not.

I just saw this recall notice online earlier today.

I had just bought a twin pack of the crunchy PB from BJs and sure enough, it's in the lots affected. So back it goes for a refund (no way do I throw out recalled items and lose money).

And I've got about a tablespoon left in my current jar and would've been opening these in the next few days! I eat PB at least a few times a week and Jif is the only brand I buy. I've never known Jif to be subject to a recall. Rats!

I actually got a call (recorded) message from Costco about the JIF I purchased there. Wish my Costco sold Skippy but they only sell JIF. Now to check the numbers that are contaminated.

I just got back from Walmart. Returned my Jif peanut butter. The shelves were completely empty. Apparently they recalled all....regardless of lot or UPC codes. I then went to Weis grocery store. Same thing. To be safe....I would suggest returning any that you might have. I did not have a receipt but received cash back. Purchased the Smuckers as a backup.

Black Cat Back · ‎03-21-2010

I'm a Skippy eater too. But, now I am wondering about the Smuckers preserves I have in my pantry. They said Jif and Smuckers are the same company. Hopefully, it's just the peanut butter at issue.
