A popular nut butter sold exclusively at Walmart is being recalled due to concerns about potential Salmonella contamination.
Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, August 4, 2026 —
A widely distributed nut butter, available exclusively at Walmart, has been voluntarily recalled due to potential contamination with Salmonella.
The specific brand and product details, including the exact type of nut butter and the size of the recalled packages, were not immediately available. The recall impacts products sold nationwide through Walmart stores.
Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella generally experience fever, severe diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, the infection can spread from the intestines to the bloodstream and then be more severe.
The manufacturer initiated the recall out of an abundance of caution. The exact cause of the potential contamination was not provided. Further details regarding the specific lots or production dates affected by the recall are expected to be released by the company.
Consumers who have purchased the affected nut butter are advised to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. They may also discard the product safely. Information on how to identify the recalled product and steps for obtaining a refund is being provided by the manufacturer and Walmart.
The company stated that it is working with regulatory agencies to ensure all necessary steps are taken to remove the product from shelves and notify consumers. No illnesses linked to the recalled product have been reported at this time, according to the manufacturer.
