If you have any skippy peanut butter in your cupboards, you may need to toss it out.
Jars of peanut butter made by Skippy Foods LLC have been recalled because a small piece of stainless steel from production equipment could be in them, which could make them taste bad.
What are the products that are affected? In just over 9,300 cases, SKIPPY Reduced Fat Creamy Peanut Butter Spread, SKIPPY Reduced Fat Chunky Peanut Butter Spread, and SKIPPY Creamy Peanut Butter Blended With Plant Protein were sold in just over 9,300 cases.
The 161,692 pounds of peanut butter that have been recalled come from a small number of code dates found on the top of the lid.
The recall was voluntary, and there have been no reports of customer complaints. All shops that received the recalled items have been contacted.
The problem was discovered by the manufacturing facility’s own detection systems.
Only the following items have been recalled:
- SKIPPY® Reduced Fat Creamy Peanut Butter, 40oz with a Best if Used By date of MAY0423 or MAY0523
