What parents need to know
Boticelli Foods is recalling one lot of bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. The product was distributed exclusively to Walmart retail stores in 19 states, so it is worth a look in the pantry if you shop there.

No other lots of bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter are part of this recall. According to the recall notice, no illnesses or injuries had been reported in connection with the product at the time it was announced.
The recall notice urges consumers who have purchased this lot not to consume the product and to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
