Skippy Foods, LLC, is recalling thousands of pounds of Skippy peanut butter over concerns that stainless steel fragments have contaminated ‘a limited number’ of jars sold at US retailers such as Walmart.

Skippy is voluntarily recalling 9,353 cases of peanut butter, or 161,692 pounds, the Food and Drug Administration said in a news release Wednesday.

The three varieties of peanut butter being recalled are Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter Blended with Plant Protein, Skippy Reduced Fat Creamy Peanut Butter Spread and Skippy Reduced Fat Chunky Peanut Butter Spread.

Skippy decided to issue the recall ‘out of an abundance of caution,’ according to the statement, as a small number of jars may contain ‘a small fragment of stainless steel from a piece of manufacturing equipment.’

Affected jars should have a ‘Best If Used By’ date of May 2023 at the top of the lid, according to the FDA.

There have been no consumer complaints related to the issue, the company said.

The issue was detected by the manufacturing plant’s internal systems, the statement said.

All retailers that have received these particular products to sell have been notified.

The products affected by the recall were shipped to 18 states, including: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma and Wisconsin.

To see if you’ve purchased a Skippy product under the recall, check the UPC code on the side of the jar where the store scans the product and look for one of the four series of numbers: 37600-10520, 37600-10667, 37600-10499 or 37600-88095

No other varieties of Skippy peanut butter are included in the recall, the FDA said in a statement.

Skippy is owned by Minnesota conglomerate, Hormel Foods, which also owns the brands Planters and Wholly the guacamole brand. Hormel foods is based out of Austin, Minnesota.
