Skippy Peanut Butter Recall Caused By Salmonella Scare

[RandySF]

Are you a peanut butter fan? If so, you may want to check product labels to make sure you're not affected by the latest peanut butter recall.

The recall, announced Friday, involves Skippy peanut butter jars labeled "reduced fat," both the creamy and super chunk products

1. K&R! Thanks for the heads up!

Just heard this on the news tonight. Skippy is my brand. :scared:

3. We love skippy =(

Thanks for this. I may have to check into my Skippy jars. My kids love their peanut butter, and I would usually buy three bottles at a time. I hope they haven't emptied the jars yet!

4. skippy was gross to me as a kid and I'm assuming the reduced fat is even grosser.

My grandmother used to buy it.

5. Thanks--I had to check my pantry

I just bought two jars of Skippy yesterday. I don't buy the reduced fat ones, but I double-checked in case I had mistakenly grabbed the wrong jars.

Now I'm hungry for peanut butter...

6. Great, I had a peanut butter sandwich today

Luckily, it wasn't Skippy.

7. But the regular full fat version is ok?

goddamned 3 for $5 sale just hours ago making me choose it over the store brand.

8. Ah, I don't even have to look.

I never use "reduced fat" anything. So, all is well in Casa Jama. :9

I appreciate the heads up though. I wish we had a special spot to put recall info on DU and maybe even discuss the particulars when we find out what happened.
