No consumers have complained about the issue, Hormel told The Washington Post, and all retailers who received the products have been notified. The company said in a press release that the facility’s internal detection systems had identified the problem and that it was issuing the recall “with considerable care and emphasis on the quality of its products”. If you think you may have purchased one of these products, you can return it to the store where you purchased it or call Skippy Foods Consumer Loyalty at 1-866-475-4779 or visit its website: www.peanutbutter .com, for a step-by-step guide. The Minnesota-based Hormel is over 130 years old, developing the world’s first canned ham and the iconic SPAM, a key element for troops in World War II. It now boasts more than 50 brands sold worldwide, from Planters to Herdez. Hormel acquired Skippy in 2013 for about $ 700 million, in an effort to expand its activities to non-meat protein. More than 90 million jars of Skippy peanut butter are produced each year, according to Hormel’s website.
