My mom bought the Great Value brand of Peanut Butter and when she heard about the recall, she went and got the unopened jar out of the cabinet to check the lid. She couldn't find the code, so I looked, I couldn't find it either. The only code on the jar is the bar code and the code under the sell by date.....what should we do since we can't find a code?

It should be on the top or side of the lid. If there is no code on the lid, this probably means it was processed somewhere other than ConAgra (Wal-Mart uses several different companies to make the same product).However, it's a jar of peanut butter - when in doubt, throw it out.

Peanut butter in the jar should be safe. It's mainly products made with peanut butter like the crackers or cookies. It's a different company that produces the peanut butter for those products than the one in the jar.

All I saw was that is was Peter Pan peanut butter with the code 2111. I don't know if there were any other store brands made by PP that were contaminated

Did you check on the top lid? We have the GV Peanut Butter also, we threw ours away.

did you look underneath the lid ??? most of the peanutbutter was bought last aug...so if it's a new jar it might not be the reacall code.

try RETURNING it! but to tell you the truth, peanut butter costs only a couple dollars so i'd probably just throw it away.
