The subject of the warning is varieties of Jiff Peanut butter produced at the J.M. Smucker Company.   The FDA says testing shows the illness matches samples taken from the factory back in 2010. The company has voluntarily recalled Jif brand peanut butter products that have the lot code numbers between 1274425 – 2140425, only if the first seven digits end with 425.

According to the FDA, "Consumers, restaurants, and retailers should not eat, sell, or serve any recalled Jif brand peanut butter that have lot code numbers 1274425 through 2140425, only if the first seven digits end with 425 (see photo example and Product List with UPC Codes below).
