Walmart Nut Butter Recall Map Shows 19 States Hit With New Warning
The recalled bettergoods brand of Pistachio Nut Butter was distributed exclusively by Walmart.
Walmart is recalling the bettergoods brand of Pistachio Nut Butter due to salmonella contamination in three jars, affecting 19 states across the United States. This recall follows a series of food safety issues this year, including a recent Listeria monocytogenes recall of turkey bacon products. Salmonella, a group of bacteria that can cause salmonellosis, is commonly found in contaminated food and can lead to symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps.
The recalled product, available in a 6.7-ounce glass jar with lot code LB028ACP04 and UPC number 194346207961, has an expiration date of January 28, 2027. Walmart emphasizes that safety is their top priority and has removed the affected products from their stores and sales channels. Customers with the recalled nut butter should discontinue use and return it for a refund.
No illnesses or injuries have been reported as of the FDA's alert. Salmonella can be particularly dangerous for young children, older adults, international travelers, and those with weakened immune systems. The recall comes amid ongoing concerns over foodborne illnesses in the United States, including a recent cyclospora outbreak linked to contaminated produce that has affected thousands and resulted in at least two deaths in Michigan.
