A wise decision, W2R! Oh... maybe you were being tongue-in-cheek!
Nah, I really AM that tight with my money. But given that I have more than I can spend, I suppose I can (reluctantly!) afford to throw out a jar of recalled peanut butter.

I'd return it to Amazon, but since it is open and partly eaten already I'm thinking that is a lot of effort that might not get me anything.

Contact Amazon and ask for a refund. They might not ask you to return it.

That stuff has too much sugar. I want the stuff that is just peanuts and a bit of salt, and nada else.

Received an email from Costco stating we purchased the Jiff peanut butter in the past month. After looking in the pantry I found 3 1/2 jars that fall under the recall. DH already started eating one jar.

Costco told us to bring all the jars back for a refund.

This... I'll bet they won't ask for a product return.

I have 1 1/2 jars that I have to return to a local grocery store tomorrow.

It's not worth the shipping. Plus if Amazon takes it back they have disposal costs.

Had to dump the last 2-pack bought from Costco.

Annoying that I can't get a refund applied over-the-phone...have to go into the local store.

Just to be cheery, I'll mention the thought that maybe they've been selling salmonella-contaminated peanut butter for the past year or more.

I love peanut butter but a 28 oz jar would last us well beyond the expiration date. When did PB get do pricey? I have a new jar with only a couple of servings used within the dreaded date range. I think I bought this from Aldi but I really don’t recall. Thanks for the PSA.

Salmonella requires a fairly large innoculum before one gets ill. Heat easily kills it. Make a soup or a Thai peanut curry dish with it and you’ll be fine. Remember that only 14 people have reported illness, NATIONWIDE. Unless you have a serious immune deficiency, Salmonella is a self-limited infection. Physicians should not prescribe antibiotics for a Salmonella infection except under specific circumstances.

So they may have been selling Salmonelka-contaminated peanut butter, or maybe not. What I’ve read is that based on the recollections of those few who were ill. Fourteen people in twelve states? Really?

Has anyone actually seen any testing of the peanut butter or the factory that shows Salmonella is in any of their products? I haven’t seen any evidence regarding Salmonella actually being in the products.

Please, , as a society, can we focus on more productive matters, such as reducing gun deaths and car accident deaths, and preventing Covid through updated vaccines and wearing a mask?

You can now apply for replacement coupons from the Jif website. There is a link to a form that asks for name, address, phone, product UPC code and lot number.

The recall contact form button is on the following page:
https://jms-s3-mkt-consumer-p-pmc6.s...om/recall.html


fyi: The lot # field wants all 13 or so digits, not just the first 7.

Not sure what you mean by so pricey? I asked DW yesterday how much the Costco refund was on the two 48-oz jars and is was about $7.20 (there was a $2 sale). But even ~$9 seems cheap to me.

Ah, thanks gromit. So they are including the processing clock time with the Lot Code. The bottom of the form also answered my question on what if one has more than one type of PB... fill out another form. Hopefully, the replacement coupon's expiration date is dated way out there

Found out we have a partially eaten 33.5 oz jar of JIF no sugar added that falls into the recall. No ill affects so far. I did complete the online form for replacement coupons. We will see how long it takes to get the coupons, and then replacement product in the stores.

Has anyone been contacted by email that replacement coupons will be sent? If so, what did the response from them say or did they give a timeline for receiving coupons? Will they send coupons by an email or by mail?

Yes, I got an email on Friday. It said I should expect coupons "within 6 weeks". It just says "we will be sending you coupons", without saying whether it is via email or US Mail.

In the last year I have probably had close to 50 28oz jars of Jif Peanut Butter and never gotten sick.

Thanks, gromit. Just wondering if they respond and then I suppose you will receive them by mail if you had to give currant address.
