Skippy recalls certain peanut butters sold in Massachusetts

Skippy Foods is voluntarily recalling certain peanut butters that were sold in Massachusetts and other states, the company announced Thursday.

The types of peanut butter affected include SKIPPY Reduced Fat Creamy Peanut Butter Spread, SKIPPY Reduced Fat Chunky Peanut Butter Spread, and SKIPPY Creamy Peanut Butter Blended With Plant Protein.

The jars are being recalled because of the possibility that some contain a small fragment of stainless steel from a piece of manufacturing equipment, Skippy Foods said.

So far, the company said, there have been no consumer complaints about stainless steel fragments, and all retailers that received the affected product have been notified. Skippy’s manufacturing facility’s internal detection systems identified the concern.

Skippy Foods said in a statement that it is recalling the jars “out of an abundance of caution and with an emphasis on the quality of its products.”

No other sizes, varieties, or other packaging configurations of SKIPPY brand peanut butter or peanut butter spreads are included in this recall, the company said.
