Walmart learned on July 17, 2026 that the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) had tested three jars of the product.

Reported Injuries or Damages

The notice says no illnesses or injuries have been reported “that we are aware of to date.” This is current as of August 3, 2026. The possible harm is Salmonella infection. The same FDA notice says healthy people infected with Salmonella often have fever, diarrhea that may be bloody, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare cases the organism enters the bloodstream. That can cause infected aneurysms, endocarditis and arthritis. CDC symptoms guidance says symptoms usually start 6 hours to 6 days after infection and last 4 to 7 days [3].

Evidence to Preserve

Keep these items if you bought or ate the recalled nut butter. They may help in a later review of your situation. Also write down the date you bought the jar and the date any symptoms began:

• The receipt or other proof of purchase from Walmart
• Photographs of the jar and the label
• Any medical records, test results and dates of symptoms

Filing Deadlines

Filing deadlines come from state law. They vary with where you live and when any illness or injury and its diagnosis happened.
