The FDA and CDC and state and local partners are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Senftenberg linked to Jif peanut butter products produced at the J.M. Smucker Company facility in Lexington, Kentucky. CDC’s review of epidemiological information indicates that five out of five people reported consuming peanut butter, and four of the five people specifically reported consuming different varieties of Jif brand peanut butter before becoming ill. FDA conducted Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) analysis on an environmental sample collected at the Lexington, KY, J.M. Smucker Company facility in 2010. The analysis shows that this 2010 environmental sample matches the strain-causing illnesses in this current outbreak. A large number of recalls resulted from the Jif recall. At least ten recalls are attributed to Jif, including Fudgeamentals (Fudge), Del Monte (Fresh cut fruit and vegetable products), Albertsons Companies (Store-prepared items containing peanut butter), Coblentz Chocolate Company (Various chocolate products containing peanut butter), Mary’s Harvest Fresh Foods Inc (Celery and Apple Peanut Butter Cups), Garden Cut (Apple Wedges and Celery Bites with Peanut Butter), TAHER (Power Packs), Country Fresh (Fresh Cut Fruit Snack Trays and Fruit Snack Cups), Cargill (Multiple Chocolate Products), and Wawa (Apple & Peanut Butter Dipper). @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/major-product-recalls/2022-recalls-food-products-associated-peanut-butter-jm-smucker-company-due-potential-risk-salmonella
