Over 20,000 Cases Of Peanut Butter Were Just Recalled In 40 States

Ventura Foods voluntarily recalled over 22,000 single-serve peanut butter packs after blue plastic pieces were found during production, prompting a Class II FDA recall across 40 states.

  • On February 17, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration updated the ongoing recall after Ventura Foods LLC voluntarily recalled over 20,000 peanut butter products distributed to 40 U.S. states.
  • Ventura Foods LLC initiated the recall on April 30, 2025, and all recalled items are listed under FDA Event ID 96817 as part of that action.
  • Inspectors found pieces of blue plastic in a production filter, and recalled items include single-serve packets in 0.5-ounce, 0.75-ounce, and 1.12-ounce sizes.
  • The Class II ranking signals potential temporary or reversible health risks, and consumers, distributors and retailers are urged to check lot numbers, segregate affected inventory and stop further sale.
  • The FDA will list the recall as ongoing with no termination date, as most products were sold to foodservice distributors under private-label brands and Ventura Foods said it acted urgently to protect consumers.
