Nongshim Recalls Some 'Jif Peanut Butter' Products Made by Smucker's in the US Due to "Food Poisoning Risk"

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] Nongshim announced on the 24th that it will recall some products of 'Jif Peanut Butter' manufactured by the American food company Smucker's.

This action by Nongshim follows the announcement by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that an epidemiological investigation of food poisoning patients in the country found a link between the consumption of the product and the food poisoning cases. Nongshim has been importing and selling the product since 2017.

The recalled products include some of the two types: Jif Creamy Peanut Butter and Jif Crunchy Peanut Butter. Customers who purchased these products can return them through the place of purchase or Nongshim's customer service team. Detailed information about returns can also be found on Nongshim's website. Nongshim plans to accept returns even for products not subject to recall upon consumer request.

Meanwhile, according to major foreign media, 14 infection cases have occurred in 12 states after consuming Smucker's peanut butter sold in the United States.
