Multiple Companies Issue Recalls for Products Where Recalled Peanut Butter Was Used

There have been over a dozen recall notices issued by companies who used recalled JIF peanut butter.  This is just FDA announced recalls, but there are additional ones issued locally where product was made and sold through direct retail channel.

One lesson that can be learned for this is the need for small companies to track ingredient usage including lot numbers.  We are often questioned by small businesses why there is the need to be diligent about tracking lot numbers of ingredients they use.  Besides being required to do it, it is issues like this that allow a company to recognize whether their products may be linked to a recall of one of their ingredients.
