Prairie City Bakery cakes recalled because they were made with Jif peanut butter

Prairie City Bakery of Vernon Hills, Illinois, has recalled 50,220 Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ooey Gooey Butter Cakes because they were made with Jif brand peanut butter.

Jif was recalled May 21 after testing by J. M. Smucker Co. revealed the presence of salmonella in some of their peanut butter products.

“Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems,” according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Healthy people infected with salmonella may experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

“In rare circumstances, infection with salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.”
