Apparently, QFC and PCC are alerting customers that there is a salmonella related recall of MaraNatha, Arrowhead and Kroger nut butters. See the list of affected products from QFC and PCC for more details.
Interesting that it’s three different brands, all affected at the same time. Tells ya something about the “global supply chain”.
(Thanks for the tip, Penny!)
Here is the complete FDA recall list. Note that it includes almond butter sold under Safeway, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods labels:

Rather than the ingredients all coming from the same source, it’s also possible that it’s the jarring company. A handful of years ago there was a pet food recall where both cheap and high end food companies were affected. The contamination was happening at the canning plant, not the ingredient source.
