Peanut Butter Recall Expanded Due to Plastic Contamination

Ventura Foods issued a voluntary recall of its peanut butter products after discovering plastic contamination during a routine inspection. The blue plastic pieces were found in a filter at the manufacturing facility, prompting immediate action to prevent potentially contaminated products from reaching consumers. The recall affects single-serve peanut butter packets and small cups of peanut butter and jelly distributed under various private label brands.

The FDA has classified this recall as Class 2, meaning that exposure to the contaminated product could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, but the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. Consumers are advised to check their pantries for affected products and discard them immediately. For a detailed list of affected products and serial numbers, visit the FDA website (when available).

Check the product details against the recall list. If your product is affected, discard it immediately.
