Details of a voluntary class II recall have been shared by the FDA regarding a limited number of jars of reduced-fat, creamy, and chunky styles of Skippy Peanut Butter.

More than 9,000 cases weighing an estimated 161,000 pounds of the product have been flagged in the nationwide recall. A limited number of jars may have been tainted by steel fragments from warehouse processing and manufacturing equipment.
