I was snacking on peanut butter when I read this:
Recalled Food -Jif brand peanut butter
Sold at stores nationwide. Many types and sizes were recalled, including creamy, crunchy, natural, and reduced fat.
Lot code numbers 1274425 through 2140425. Four of five (80%) sick people reported eating different types of Jif brand peanut butter before getting sick.

So I checked my jar and it looks like this:
My lot numbers were OK though. Plus half the jar has been eaten already and I feel fine.
For now.
Update 05.25.22
It appears Jif is everywhere.
Peanut Butter Product Recall Expanded Beyond Jif Due To 12-State Salmonella Outbreak — https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2022/05/25/peanut-butter-product-recall-expanded-beyond-jif-due-to-12-state-salmonella-outbreak/?sh=419271f0382b
Iām going to go check right now. Thank you so much.
Iām OK. Two unopened jars.
I rechecked my jars of peanut butter after having read an article in the newspaper that demonstrated how to read the code. I do indeed have one jar that could have salmonella. It is unopened. Do I take it back to the store where I purchased it? It was probably six months ago, so I donāt have any receipt.
Thereās no harm in trying to return it.
