The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a notification that J.M Smucker Co is recalling affected batches of Jif Peanut Butter products from the USA due to potential contamination of Salmonella Senftenberg, as a precautionary measure.

The U.S authorities are currently conducting investigations. As the implicated products were imported into Singapore, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has directed the importer, DKSH South East Asia Pte. Ltd, to recall the implicated batches. The recall is ongoing.

Salmonella Senftenburg is a pathogenic bacterium and should not be detected in ready to-eat food products.
