JEM Raw Chocolate of Bend, Oregon announced a voluntary recall of its full line of all nut butter spreads due to the potential of some being contaminated with Salmonella. Health authorities, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Oregon Health Authority (OHA), Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) have linked the illnesses to people who have consumed nut spreads, including JEM Raw products. There have been eleven illnesses reported but no deaths or hospitalizations to date.

Co-founder and CEO, Jen Moore, stated, “We are taking these steps because consumer safety is our top priority. As a health food company, our customer’s health is our number one priority. Although no JEM Raw products have tested positive for Salmonella, we feel strongly that issuing a voluntary recall is the right thing to do. JEM is working closely with the FDA, ODA, and OHA to determine the root cause of the outbreak.”

The Products were distributed nationwide between June and November 2015. Below is the list of  products being recalled:
