Released on Tuesday, May 5th by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, was the recall of all Costco Kirkland Signature Creamy Natural Peanut Butter that was sold in two-1kg packages. The only peanut butter that by this recall are jars that have a best-before date from November 17th, 2015 to January 8th, 2015. The reason for this recall was that health inspectors suspect that there may be bits of plastic in the jars.
The UPC code for the affected jars is: 0 96619 89682 0. The announcement said that the jars were sold across Canada, so if you have bought one of these packages recently, no matter your location, be sure to check the expiration dates and UPC code.
This explains why my poop was coming out all wrapped up in plastic wrap..
Do you mean November of 2014?
Nope! If you check out the Health Canada link, http://healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/inspection/2015/53317r-eng.php, they say, “Best By dates 17NOV2015 up to and including 08JAN2016”.
I was going to say, if they’re recalling peanut butter that expired more than 4 months ago, I’ve already tossed it in the bin. Nov.2015 – Jan.2016 makes a lot more sense.
What if all the information is the same – date range, exact type, but the UPC is 9661989681
The UPC of individual jars ends in 1, but the UPC on the plastic sheath that holds the jars together ends in 2. So your jar is likely recalled.
