The FDA and The JM Smucker Co. now recall select Jif peanut butter products sold in the US.  The peanut butter is contaminated with salmonella, a bacterium that causes serious and sometime fatal infections in the very young, in frail or elderly individuals, and in those with weakened immune systems.  The products in this recall involve all sizes and styles of creamy and crunchy peanut butter with lots numbers starting at 1274425 and ending with 2140425.  If you definitely have any Jif peanut butter product or honey with these lot numbers, do not consume it but rather destroy it.  If you aren’t certain that your product is in the recall, if you want more info about the recall, or if you want some compensation, call the Smucker Co. at 1-800-828-9980.
