The recall covers 22,000 goods made by Ventura Foods and distributed to distributors, primarily under private labels, in 40 states. These products include peanut butter packets and small cups that include peanut butter and jelly.

Following the discovery that blue plastic fragments had infiltrated the products during manufacture, the products were first recalled on April 30, 2025.

The recall was recently classified as Class II by the FDA, meaning there is a higher chance of negative health effects.
