Because the safety of our members is our absolute priority, we are expanding on our supplier’s recall and are voluntarily recalling all unexpired lots of all Thrive Market-branded nut butters manufactured by this supplier.
Although it is very unlikely that the Product(s) you have purchased was affected by any contamination, out of an abundance of caution,if any of the Products listed below are in your possession, we ask that you please promptly discard it so that it cannot be consumed by you or others.

Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
