BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — According to the United States Food & Drug Administration, the J.M. Smucker Company is issuing a voluntary recall on certain sold Jif products for a potential salmonella contamination.

The FDA and the Center for Disease Control are investigating an outbreak of salmonella traced back to Jif peanut butter products manufactured at a facility in Lexington, Kentucky.
