Does Your Peanut Butter Have Salmonella? Updated 05.25.22

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.

Finally! A Recall on Hyland’s Homeopathic Teething Tablets | American Council on Science and Health

Last September, the FDA issued a news release cautioning that homeopathic teething tablets and gels may be harmful to babies and children, and issued a strong recommendation to not use them. This action was taken in response to reports of the teething products causing the illnesses of hundreds of infants and deaths of approximately ten babies. The move prompted some pharmacies to remove them from their shelves, which is great, except the bottles shouldn’t have been there in the first place. Pharmacies are not supposed to sell witchcraft.

I know, this article is not about food so why is it here?

It’s a PPSO – Personal Public Service Announcement.

Someone who I want to know about this will read it.  The link below is to the manufacturer’s website product page with a picture of the deadly product.
