Greenville Spartanburg Asheville Anderson, SC, August 3, 2026 —
Bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter, a product available at Walmart locations across 19 states, is currently subject to a recall due to potential contamination with salmonella. Consumers who have purchased this item are being urged to check their products for specific lot codes and expiration dates to determine if they are affected by the recall.
The recall specifically targets Bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter. While the exact number of affected products or the specific timeframe of distribution was not immediately available, the recall impacts Walmart stores situated in nineteen states. The presence of salmonella, a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems, is the reason for the voluntary recall.
Salmonella infection symptoms typically include fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, the infection can spread from the intestines to the bloodstream and then to other parts of the body, leading to more severe illness.
Consumers are advised to identify the lot code and expiration date, typically found on the product packaging. While the trend summary did not specify the precise lot codes or expiration dates subject to the recall, it emphasizes the importance of consumers verifying their product’s information against any notifications issued by Bettergoods or Walmart. Products identified as part of the recall should not be consumed and should be disposed of properly or returned to the place of purchase, though details on return procedures were not provided in the summary.
The contractor involved in the recall was not named in the provided summary. Further details regarding the origin of the contamination or any corrective actions being taken by Bettergoods were also not specified.
