The problem detected by internal systems at the facility where the product was produced involves 9,353 cases, or 161,692 pounds, of three types of peanut butter, according to the recall notice posted Wednesday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The varieties — Skippy Reduced Fat Creamy Peanut Butter Spread, Skippy Reduced Fat Chucky Peanut Butter Spread and Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter Blended With Plant Protein — all have “best-if-used-by” dates in May of 2023.
The product affected by the recall was shipped to 18 states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma and Wisconsin.

“Peanut butter pulled off shelves due to iron content…”
Wait, what?
What’s more interesting is that UPCs go by market. I’ve been telling people this for 25 years. They tell me to get a tinfoil hat. I tell them I have a closet full of them.
Adams old fashioned peanut butter is the best.
Eat less meat they said…veggies are good for you they said…
I don’t have to pick shrapnel out of my wild game… So just how tough are these peanuts anyway?
Thank God!!! Skippy Super Crunchy is safe!
Most (apparently not all) manufacturers have metal detection equipment checking product for metals before packaging and shippment.
Ferd Berfle, but they ship them for free.
Dang it. I have several recalled jars that I use to bait my mouse traps. Should I switch to JIF and rat poison?
The mice won’t complain about the metal shards … I’m pretty sure …
course – mice and rats and lawyers … well, you know … prolly all know each other …
mortem tyrannis
izlamo delenda est …
Metal fragments were also found in the mRNA shots. Still waiting for those to be recalled….
PS- Skippy has too much sugar.
