Walmart Recalls Bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter Over Salmonella Risk

Walmart is recalling Bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter across 19 states after the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services found salmonella in three jars on July 17. The affected product comes in 6.7-ounce glass jars with lot code LB028ACP04 and an expiration date of January 28, 2027. No illnesses have been reported, but consumers should return the product for a full refund.

How to identify the recalled product

The recalled pistachio nut butter is packaged in a 6.7-ounce glass jar with UPC 194346207961. Look for lot code LB028ACP04 and expiration date January 28, 2027 printed on the label. The product was distributed exclusively to Walmart stores in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington, and Wyoming. Stores in other states did not receive this lot.

What to do if you have the product

Salmonella symptoms and risks

Salmonella infection typically starts 6 hours to 6 days after exposure and lasts up to 7 days. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Young children, seniors, and people with weakened immune systems face higher risk of severe illness. Seek medical attention if you experience these symptoms after consuming the product.

Walmart’s response and product details

Walmart said safety is a top priority and the company moved swiftly to remove the product from shelves and implement a sales block at registers and online. The nut butter was manufactured by Gustibus Alimentari Srl of Assoro, Italy and imported by Botticelli Foods, a New York-based company. Only one lot is affected, and no other Bettergoods pistachio nut butter products are subject to the recall.

Final Thoughts

With no illnesses reported and a clear recall process in place, the immediate risk to consumers is low if they check their pantries and return affected jars. Walmart’s swift action limits potential exposure.
