BAHRAIN food control inspectors have seized some consignments of Jif-brand peanut butter products, based on a warning by the US Food and Drug Authority of potential presence of Salmonella bacteria.
The consignments were seized during an intensive inspection campaign at markets and hypermarkets, the Health Ministry said yesterday.
According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the recalled products will have lot codes between 1274425 and 2140425.
The first seven digits of any potentially affected product will end with 425, denoting that the peanut butter was manufactured in Lexington, Kentucky. (The lot codes are located on the label, near the Best If Used By date.)
The ministry has urged consumers who have bought products bearing any of these batch numbers to return them to agents and retail stores.
It also stressed keenness to take measures to ensure that food commodities conform to international quality and safety standards.
