Meijer removed all identified products from its stores and gas stations.

All sell-by dates are impacted by this recall. Specifically, Meijer has recalled the following items:

  • Meijer Cheese and Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers, UPC #0-41250-56235
  • Meijer Toasty Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers, UPC #0-41250-56239
  • Meijer Peanut Butter and Jelly Ice Cream, UPC #00000007-19283-96635-3
  • Meijer Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream, UPC #00000007-19283-96843-2

Meijer has taken these steps following announcements from the products’ manufacturers that they may possibly be contaminated with salmonella.

While none of the Meijer brand products have been identified as contaminated nor linked to any illness, Meijer has removed these products while the FDA continues its investigation to verify the source of a nationwide outbreak.

Meijer requests that customers who have purchased these products destroy the product or return them to any Meijer location for a full refund. If Meijer customers are unsure if they have the recalled product, they are requested to bring in the product for determination or contact the Meijer customer contact center at 800-543-3704. Consumers with questions or concerns about their health should contact their health care provider. If symptoms are present, please visit a health care provider or go to a hospital emergency room.

“The safety of our customers has always been our number one priority,” said Stacie Behler, vice president of public affairs for Meijer. “Meijer has taken these precautionary steps to help protect our customers and will return this product to our stores only once it is safe for our shoppers.”

Here are a few hints that may help:

Write it down! Start a journal to record what you eat. If you record how much you eat, when, and how you feel, you may discover you’re eating when you’re not even hungry.

Portion control. When you dine out, consider the portion size of food served. Servings at restaurants or fast-food places tend to be several times larger than what one person should eat. Try splitting meals with a dining companion.

It’s about color. It’s important to choose a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables each day because they provide different nutrients. For example, orange fruits and vegetables have high amounts of vitamin A. Vitamin A plays a role in vision, bone growth and many other functions. Generally, the deeper the color, the more vitamins and minerals present.

Where’s the beef? Meat is not the only source of protein. You can also get protein from beans, peas, nuts and seeds. Try sprinkling nuts over your salad, blend up a quick bean dip or have a peanut butter sandwich.

Prepare meals ahead. Make large batches of meals on the weekend for use during the week. Try soups, stews and casseroles that can be easily portioned and frozen.

Fabulous fiber. The majority of Americans only get about half the recommended daily fiber intake. Most people should consume between 25 and 35 grams of fiber per day. Fiber can promote regularity as well as reduce risks of diabetes, obesity and cancer. Good sources of fiber include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, lentils and peas.

Get moving. Regular physical activity is critical to a healthy lifestyle. For adults, 30 minutes a day of physical activity is recommended. For children, 60 minutes every day is preferred.

These tips come from the experts at The Michael & Susan Dell Center for Advancement of Healthy Living. Partially funded through a grant from the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, it’s a world-class center at The University of Texas School of Public Health, Austin Regional Campus. The Center works to better influence factors, behaviors and conditions that affect healthy living and prevent obesity and type 2 diabetes in families.
