Today, the New York State Office of General Services instructed our Food Services department to destroy its supply of Sunland Creamy Peanut Butter and Smucker’s Uncrustables, due to a voluntary recall of the products. Peanut butter used in these products is associated with the Sunland, Inc. recall due to possible Salmonella contamination.

The district complied immediately and quarantined its supply.

It is important to note that there have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of this product, but the company is nonetheless acting with an abundance of caution to protect consumer safety.

The recall does not impact any other Smucker products including those distributed through retail channels such as grocery, convenience or warehouse club stores. Smucker produces its own peanut butter for branded peanut butters and Uncrustables distributed in retail channels.

This voluntary recall is being made with the full knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
