J. M. Smucker recalled Jif peanut butter in 2022 after Salmonella was detected at its Kentucky facility.
The recall involved certain Jif peanut-butter products made at the company’s Lexington, Kentucky, plant. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the company linked the recall to possible Salmonella contamination. Consumers were advised to check lot codes and discard affected jars rather than rely on appearance or smell.
The recalled products included several varieties and package sizes distributed in the United States and other markets. Public-health investigations connected illnesses with the outbreak, although the scope and product list changed as authorities gathered information.
Jif is a brand owned by J. M. Smucker, so the brand name and corporate name are both commonly mentioned. The recall should not be confused with recalls of other peanut products caused by undeclared allergens, foreign objects, or aflatoxin.
