Jif Peanut Butter Recall

According to the J. M. Smuckers Co, the peanut butter recalled has been distributed in retail stores and other outlets throughout the country. Those products included in the recall are the Jif creamy, natural, and crunchy varieties, along with many others. In order to check if your jar of Jif peanut butter has been recalled, you'll need to look for the lot numbers printed underneath the "Best if Used By" date on the jar label. The principal identifiers for those recalled peanut butter products are labeled with the lot code numbers between 1274425 – 2140425. The codes will also include the number "425" as the ending three digits. It is essential to note that the digits of "425" in that position indicate that it was processed in the Lexington facility. All of the identifiers mentioned before are typically printed on the back label of the peanut butter jar. 

A more comprehensive list of all the Jif peanut butter recalled products and their numbers can be found on the FDA's website.
