If you have purchased Skippy Reduced Fat Peanut Butter, you might want to check your pantry to see if its included in a massive recall.  Some jars are tainted with salmonella and you can become ill if you consume it.   

Unilever, maker of Skippy, says you should stay away from some batches of Skippy Reduced Fat Creamy Peanut Butter Spread and Skippy Reduced Fat Super Chunk Peanut Butter Spread.  

The company says testing of Skippy samples revealed that some of these products may contain bacteria.

The product was distributed to retail outlets in Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.

The affected product, which is packaged in 16.3 oz plastic jars, is as follows:

 •        UPCs: 048001006812 and 048001006782 (located on the side of the jar’s label below the bar code.)
    •        Best-If-Used-By Dates: MAY1612LR1, MAY1712LR1, MAY1812LR1, MAY1912LR1, MAY2012LR1 and MAY2112LR1 (Stamped on the lid of the jar.)

If you find the you have one of the contaminated products,  contact Skippy at 800-453-3432, which is operational 24 hours a day, for information on the recall. In addition, a consumer services representative is available Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 AM and 6:00 PM EST.  They will send you a replacement coupon for a new product.

A little more about me….I’m a mommy, wife, cook (well, sort of, I do try! I only caught the kitchen on fire twice! LOL!), family accountant, personal maid & a bargain enthusiast. I am a mom of two adorable young gentlemen, ages 18 & 12! My youngest son was just recently diagnosed as being part of the Autism Spectrum, and as of last year, I am a homeschooling mom to my 12-year-old son. I did not imagine myself as a homeschool mom, but us mom’s do what we have to do when our babies are getting bullied and not being supported as they should be. My oldest is a Senior in public school, and I must admit, I am not sure if I am ready for him to leave the nest!! I better start buying kleenex now.

(Yep, that’s me and my Hunny.  See how super cool we are, haha?)

Happy Savings Ya’ll!
