Jif® peanut butter with omega-3 DHA & EPA uses an encapsulated fish oil source that contains both EPA and DHA. The encapsulation process keeps the DHA/EPA locked in, while keeping the smell and taste of fish out of the peanut butter. However, we encourage individuals to consult their medical professional if they have specific allergy concerns.

Unopened and stored in a cool, dry area, Jif peanut butter will last about two years (refer to the “Best If Used By” date). After opening, you can keep Jif peanut butter about three months on the pantry shelf. If unopened, Jif To Go Peanut Butter and Jif Natural Peanut Butter Spread will each last one year (refer to the “Best If Used By” date).

We would encourage consumers with Jif® product to check the UPC, which can be found on the side of the product bar code, against the full list of impacted UPC on our recall page. If your product UPC matches a UPC listed, check the product code, which can be found at the bottom of the jar under the Best If Used By date. The first seven digits of the product code range for the impacted products are 1274425 – 2140425. The last three numbers of the Product Code must be 425 in order to be included in the recall. If the last three numbers of the Product Code are 006, the product was produced at our Memphis facility, which was not impacted by the recall.

The Jif brand also supports outside initiatives dedicated to peanut allergy research and awareness. For example, the brand has long partnered with The National Peanut Board, supporting peanut research and education initiatives. Part of their work focuses on peanut allergy awareness and education, including resources for parents, educators and anyone who cares for children.
