Check your cabinets: thousands of jars of peanut butter are part of the FDA’s latest recall.
Over 20,000 cases of single-serve peanut butter and peanut butter-and-jelly combination snacks produced by Ventura Foods LLC and distributed under multiple brands have been affected.
Originally initiated in 2025, the recall was upgraded to a Class II by the FDA this week due to the increased risk of health consequences after pieces of blue plastic were found during production.
The products were shipped to retailers in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
The full list of items and their lot numbers can be found through the FDA’s recall notice.
While the FDA did not confirm whether any illnesses had been reported, the agency did note that serious health consequences are unlikely.
The peanut butter recall comes amid a raft of issues plaguing consumers across various food products.
