Plain-English summary

Oskri Corp. is recalling specific almond butter products, including Wholesome Pantry Organic Creamy Salted and Unsalted varieties, as well as Oskri-branded creamy and crunchy jars and pouches. The recall was initiated because sunflower and tahini butter has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

The affected products include 16 oz. plastic jars and pouches with specific UPC codes and lot numbers ranging from 002-090 to 360-364. These products have Best By dates of June 2020 and earlier. The recall covers approximately 249,234 units distributed across multiple states, including Arizona, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, New Hampshire, Oregon, South Carolina, and Texas, with an expanded distribution list including Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Consumers should check their pantries for these specific products and stop using them if they match the listed lot numbers and expiration dates. The FDA classifies this as a Class I recall, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the violative product may cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
