Peanut Butter Recall Update

Major national brands of jarred peanut butter are not affected by the PCA recall. PCA does not sell peanut butter directly to consumers. PCA only sells peanut butter to institutions and food manufacturers (some of which use it as an ingredient in other processed/packaged foods). Some food manufacturers use PCA peanut butter or peanut paste in baked or processed foods, such as crackers, cookies, cakes or ice cream to name a few. The FDA and food manufacturers are working to identify products that may be affected, and to track the ingredient supply chain of those products to facilitate their removal from the marketplace.

Based on available information, FDA and CDC recommendations include:

For Consumers

FDA has created a searchable list of products and brands associated with the expanded PCA recall. This list is available on the FDA website at:

• http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/peanutbutterrecall/index.cfm

It will be updated on a regular basis as additional sub recalls occur and information is received by FDA from the industry.

Because identification of products subject to recall is continuing, the FDA urges consumers to first visit FDA's website to determine if commercially-prepared or manufactured peanut butter/peanut paste-containing products (such as cookies, crackers, cereal, candy and ice cream) are subject to recall. If consumers do not find the product of interest on FDA's website they may wish to call the toll-free number listed on most food packaging or visit the company's website.
