Hormel Foods Corp said on Thursday that it was voluntarily recalling a limited number of jars of its Skippy聽peanut聽butter聽in seven U.S. states because they might contain small pieces of metal shavings.
The recall involves 153 cases, or 1,871 pounds, of Skippy Reduced Fat Creamy聽Peanut聽Butter Spread. It is limited to 16.3 ounce jars with a "Best If Used By" date of DEC1416LR1 with a package UPC code of 37600-10500.
The jars were sent to distribution centers for Publix , Target and Walmart located in Georgia, Virginia, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Delaware and Arkansas, Hormel said.
