Skippy Foods issued a voluntary recall of its peanut butter jars on Wednesday.
The recall affects over 161,000 pounds or 9,353 cases of peanut butter, including Skippy Reduced Fat Creamy Peanut Butter Spread, Skippy Reduced Fat Chunky Peanut Butter Spread, and Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter Blended with Plant Protein, according to a statement from the Food and Drug Administration.
“From our family to yours, we want you to know that we take the quality of our products very seriously and apologize to our fans for this situation,” Skippy Foods said in a statement.
The recall was done “out of an abundance of caution” as the products might not be up to the “quality” of others, according to the FDA.

As of Friday, no consumer complaints have been filed for the recall, and all retailers have been notified.
The affected products can be returned to the retailer it was purchased from for an exchange, or customers can contact Skippy Foods themselves.
