Nut Butter Recall Update: FDA Issues Highest Risk Warning
A pistachio nut butter product was recalled due to possible contamination with Salmonella.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Class 1 recall warning for Pistachio Nut Butter due to possible Salmonella contamination. Botticelli Foods LLC voluntarily recalled 16,200 jars on August 3 after Walmart's Florida store tested three jars and found Salmonella. The affected jars have a January 28, 2027 expiration date, UPC code 194346207961, and lot number LB028ACP04.
The FDA classifies recalls as Class 1 when there's a reasonable risk of serious health consequences or death. Salmonella infection, known as salmonellosis, can cause gastrointestinal illness, fever, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and often lasts four to seven days. Severe cases may also present high fever, aches, lethargy, rashes, and blood in urine.
The recalled product was distributed to Walmart stores in 19 states, but as of August 3, no illnesses had been reported. Consumers are advised not to consume the recalled nut butter and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
