Expanded recall notice: Bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter (possible Salmonella) — how to check your jar and what to do next
If you buy or keep Bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter, pause before using that jar. The FDA reports a recall from Boticelli Foods due to a possible Salmonella contamination risk—and the right next step depends on whether your jar matches the specific identifiers listed in the notice.
What’s being recalled (and why)
Boticelli Foods is recalling Bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter because the product may be contaminated with Salmonella (possible health risk), according to the FDA recall notice.
How to tell if your jar is affected
Food recalls are usually lot-specific, so the goal is to quickly compare what’s on your label to what the FDA lists. Look at your jar for:
- Product name: Bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter
- Net weight / size: Match the size(s) shown in the FDA notice
- UPC: Match the UPC listed by FDA
- Lot code: Match the lot code(s) listed by FDA
Tip for home cooks: Lot codes and UPCs are typically printed on the jar label and/or a second label on the packaging. If you can’t find them right away, check the jar’s main label and any end/side labeling area—then compare exactly to the identifiers in the FDA notice.
What to do if your Bettergoods jar matches the recall identifiers
Follow the consumer instructions in the FDA recall notice. In general, FDA’s guidance for recalled food products is to:
- Stop using the affected jar immediately.
- Discard or return the product as directed in the FDA notice.
- Keep the jar/packaging (and any receipt information if the notice asks for it) until you’ve completed the return/disposal steps.
If you already opened or used it
If your household used the jar before you noticed the recall, the practical takeaway is simple: don’t keep eating from that jar. For general kitchen safety habits after handling a recalled product, you can also:
- Clean and sanitize any food-contact utensils, lids, jar area contact points, or countertops that may have had direct contact with the product.
- Wash hands after handling the jar and before touching other food.
- Check where the jar was stored (for example, whether it was grouped with other opened pantry items), so you don’t accidentally keep using something you thought was unrelated—but only the jar that matches the recall identifiers should be treated as recalled.
FDA’s notice is the source of truth for any product-specific instructions. This is a calm “pause and reset” kitchen step, not a substitute for the official guidance.
Where to check the full details
