A single lot of bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter, a Walmart store brand sold only at Walmart, is being recalled because it may be contaminated with Salmonella. The recall, announced August 3, 2026 by Boticelli Foods of Melville, New York, in a notice posted on the FDA (Food and Drug Administration)’s website, covers jars shipped to Walmart stores in 19 states.
If you have a jar in your cupboard, checking it takes under a minute. Here is exactly what to look for.
The recall covers one lot of one product. A jar is included only if all of these match:
Key facts
- Product: bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter
- Size: 6.7 oz (190 g) glass jar
- UPC: 194346207961
- Lot code: LB028ACP04
- Expiration date printed on the jar: January 28, 2027
This is the only lot recalled. No coverage through August 5, 2026 reported a second lot or any other bettergoods product being added to the recall — though no news of a change is not the same as confirmation that nothing has changed. And it is the checklist above, not the state list further down, that decides whether your jar is recalled — the state list only shows where this lot was shipped.
What to do if your jar matches
Do not eat it. The recall notice tells you to take the jar back to the place you bought it for a full refund. Mesa County Public Health in Colorado and Consumer Reports say you can also just throw it out — that advice is theirs, not the recall notice’s.
How to reach the company
Anyone with questions can reach the company at quality@botticellifoods.com or 631-543-7000, extension 203, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern on weekdays. The company’s name turns up spelled two ways, and which one is its legal name is unresolved: the recall notice’s title appears as “Boticelli Foods” with one t, while the contact address it gives is at “botticellifoods.com” with two. Type the email address exactly as it appears here, with two t’s.
Where the recalled lot was shipped
According to the August 3 recall notice, the lot went to Walmart stores in 19 states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington and Wyoming.
How the contamination was found
On July 17, 2026, Walmart learned that the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services had tested three jars of the product at a Walmart store during a routine inspection and found Salmonella. That is how the contamination came to light: through the state’s routine sampling, not through an investigation into reported illnesses.
The nut butter was made by Gustibus Alimentari Srl of Assoro, Italy, imported by the recalling company, and sold by Walmart under its bettergoods store brand. News coverage of the recall quoted Walmart saying safety is a top priority (a description of the company’s usual practice when it is notified of a recall, not an account of this lot). Through the coverage published on August 5, the recalling company had not given a statement to a news outlet that asked for one.
The recall is not connected to the Canadian food-safety investigation into imported pistachios, which concerns pistachios imported from Iran and drove recalls in Canada in 2025. That is a different country of origin, a different form of the product and a different supply chain from this Italian-made jarred nut butter.
Has anyone gotten sick?
The company said in its August 3 announcement that no illnesses or injuries had been reported in connection with the product that it was aware of to date.
Salmonella infection typically causes diarrhea, which may be bloody, along with fever and stomach cramps, according to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Symptoms usually begin between six hours and six days after exposure, and the illness generally lasts four to seven days. The CDC identifies children under 5, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems as the groups at higher risk of severe illness.
Anyone who ate the recalled nut butter and develops symptoms should contact a health care provider.
