Botulism, listeria, and recalls: How recalls work
Over 20,000 cases of single-serve peanut butter and peanut butter-and-jelly snacks from Ventura Foods LLC have been recalled across 40 U.S. states.
The recall, originally initiated in 2025, was upgraded to a Class II by the FDA due to the discovery of blue plastic pieces during production.
While the FDA did not confirm whether any illnesses had been reported, the agency did note that serious health consequences are unlikely.
The FDA also issued a recall for a single lot of Initiative Foods’ Tippy Toes brand of Apple Pear Banana Fruit baby food puree due to elevated levels of patulin.
Additionally, over 22,000 pounds of raw ground beef from CS Beef Packers, LLC were recalled after routine testing revealed the presence of E. coli O145.
