WASHINGTON (AP) - The company that makes Skippy peanut butter is recalling two of its spreads that may be contaminated with salmonella.

No illnesses have been linked to the recall of the Skippy reduced fat creamy and reduced fat chunky brands.

Unilever United States Inc. did not specify how many jars have been recalled. They are packaged in 16.3 oz. plastic jars with used-by dates of May 16-21, 2012.

Unilever detected possible salmonella through its own testing. The recalled jars were distributed to retail outlets in Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin, the company said.

1. I like peanut butter lets pull our head out our ass and make food that people can eat

maybe you have squeezed the old beet to far!

maybe the head guy making million of dollars should look at the plant. That is what the all the salary is for right. Stop talking to yacht salesman and pay your people a decent wage. Spend some time in the plant instead of talking to your stooge walker and fix this!

5. How so?

There are no reported illnesses from this. The company discovered the problem on their own, and have set up a toll-free number to get coupons for free replacements, no questions asked. I'm okay with that.
