A pathogen found in Jif peanut butter has caused a range of recalls in the US and Canada this week.
Pathogens
Certain Jif brand Peanut Butters have been recalled in the US and Canada due to Salmonella. A list of Jif products impacted can be found here, and more information on other products affected by this can also be found on the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website.
Brookshire Grocery Company of Tyler, Texas has issued a voluntary recall of bulk Yellow Flesh Peaches because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. More details on this can be found on the FDA website.
Undeclared allergens
White Rabbit Pizza in the UK is recalling its Smokin Vegan Gluten Free Pizza, White Rabbit Vegan Gardener Gluten Free Pizza, White Rabbit Chick’n Arrabbiata Pizza and White Rabbit Chick’n & Pesto Calzone because they contain milk which is not mentioned on the label.
Meanwhile, British Supermarket Tesco is recalling Tesco Frozen All Butter Croissants 6 pack because it may contain almonds (nuts) not mentioned on the label. Due to a packaging error some packs may have been incorrectly packed with Tesco Frozen Almond Croissants. This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to nuts.
In England, Aye Pickled Ltd is recalling its Curried Kraut because it contains mustard which is not mentioned on the label. This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to mustard.
In the US, Casper’s Ice Cream is voluntarily recalling its 56 ounce tubs of Red Button Vintage Creamery Canadian Vanilla Ice Cream because a limited number were mispackaged with Burnt Almond Fudge Ice Cream containing undeclared almonds. People who have allergies to almonds run the risk of allergic reactions if they consume these products. The recalled Red Button Canadian Vanilla ice cream were distributed throughout the mountain west states in Associated Foods retail stores.
Blue Moose of Boulder of Colorado, US is voluntarily recalling Blue Moose Spinach Artichoke Parmesan Dip, 7oz. as the dip contains undeclared tree nut (Cashew) and soy allergens. This recall has been initiated due to a mislabelling issue where a small run Spinach Artichoke Cashew Dip was labelled as Spinach Artichoke Parmesan Dip. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to cashews or soy run the risk of reaction if they consume these products. This product was available in Vons, Albertsons, and Pavilions Grocery Stores located throughout southern California as well as the Las Vegas, Nevada area.
