Skippy has voluntarily recalled over 161,000 pounds of peanut butter that “may contain a small fragment of stainless steel from a piece of production equipment,” the company announced Wednesday.
Of the 9,353 cases, a limited number of Skippy’s reduced-fat creamy peanut butter spread, reduced-fat chunky peanut butter spread, and creamy peanut butter blend with vegetable protein were recalled with a specific code date.
Here are which peanut butter jars are being recalled with their code date:
SKIPPY® Creamy Reduced Fat Peanut Butter, 40 oz

SKIPPY® Creamy Reduced Fat Peanut Butter – Club, 2/40 oz
SKIPPY® Reduced Fat Chunky Peanut Butter, 16.3 oz
- Best when using MAY0623
- Best when using MAY0723
SKIPPY® Creamy Peanut Butter Blended with Plant Protein, 14 oz
The code date is on top of the lid of the jar where it says “Best If Used By” followed by a date.
The peanut butter was shipped to California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oklahoma and Wisconsin.
Skippy noted that no other sizes, flavors, or other packaging configurations of the brand’s peanut butter are affected by the recall. There have also been no consumer complaints related to the recall.
All retailers who sold the aforementioned peanut butter jars have been notified, Skippy said.
If an individual possesses any of the recalled products, they should return it to their retailer for an exchange, or call Skippy Foods Consumer Engagement at 1-866-475-4779 or visit their website at www.peanutbutter.com.
