The Brief 

    • A recall was issued for peanut butter products because pieces of blue plastic were found in a filter. 
    • The peanut butter goods were distributed in 40 states, including New York, California, and Pennsylvania. 
    • In 2025, a voluntary recall was initiated, and the Food and Drug Administration later upgraded the recall in February.

Peanut butter products distributed in 40 states were recalled due to the presence of foreign materials detected. 

Ventura Foods LLC, the company that produces the peanut butter goods, initiated a voluntary recall in April 2025 after officials found pieces of blue plastic in a filter, according to the FDA.

Although the recall was initiated last year, the FDA assigned a Class II classification on Feb. 12. A Class II designation refers to a "situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote."
