A nut-butter producer whose products are shipped out to private-label customers like Kroger, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and more has voluntarily recalled the equivalent of 45 production lots of peanut and almond butter, crunchy and creamy. There have been no confirmed cases of salmonella, but producer nSPIRED Natural Foods, Inc. said in a press release yesterday that four illnesses were reported, and the USDA has identified the “potential risk” of leaving certain batches on the market. The full list of affected nut butters is here. Meanwhile, the FDA says the jars have been shipped to Canada, the U.A.E., Hong Kong, the Dominican Republic, and “across the United States,” so anyone unsure of their nut butter’s provenance might want to omit to PB from their PB&Js; for a while.
