Don’t Eat Any of These Peanut Butter Products, FDA Says
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), following the recent recall of 49 Jif peanut butter products believed to be linked to the Salmonella outbreak, several companies that use peanut butter in their snacks and desserts , released their own reviews.
At this point, it’s unclear if anyone has gotten sick after eating one of the recently recalled snacks or desserts containing Jif peanut butter (and possibly salmonella), but you don’t want to risk it. Here’s what you need to know about this feedback round.
What products are currently being recalled?
