One of the nation's largest suppliers of peanut butter is linked to a recent salmonella outbreak.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention earlier this week announced that a salmonella outbreak had been traced to Jif brand peanut butter, which was sold in stores nationwide.
The recall includes several types and sizes of creamy, crunchy and natural peanut butter. The lot numbers in the recall include 1274425 through 2140425, with “425” at the end of the first seven numbers being the key.
The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) advises anyone who has a recalled product in their home to throw it away and wash surfaces and containers that may have been in contact with it by using hot, soapy water.
Symptoms of salmonella include a fever higher than 102 degrees, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramping and dehydration. The OSDH said if you are experiencing those symptoms to contact a healthcare provider.
