Small individually wrapped cakes sold at gas stations and convenience stores nationwide are the latest products to be recalled due to a multi-state outbreak of salmonella linked to Jif peanut butter.
Americans are being cautioned against eating a range of baked goods, sandwiches, candy, ice cream, trail mix and ready-to-eat salad products made with the recalled Jif peanut butter, as snacks are pulled from stores, vending machines and restaurants across the country.
The wave began on May 20 with the J.M. Smucker Co. recall of multiple Jif brand peanut butter types, including creamy, crunchy, natural and reduced fat. In the two weeks since, at least 18 companies have recalled products containing Jif, and the public is now being cautioned about other food products.
