What Happened
During a routine inspection, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services detected salmonella in three jars of bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter — Walmart's house brand, recalled by Botticelli Foods of Melville, New York, and manufactured by Gustibus Alimentari Srl of Assoro, Italy. Walmart was notified on 17 July 2026; the public recall followed on 3 August 2026. The recalled product: 6.7 oz (190 g) jars, UPC 194346207961, lot code LB028ACP04, best-by 28 January 2027, sold exclusively at Walmart in 19 states: AL, AK, AZ, CO, FL, GA, ID, KS, MS, MO, MT, NE, NV, NM, OR, SD, TN, WA and WY. The FDA's enforcement classification for this recall had not yet appeared in the public database as of this page's review date — that is a statement about paperwork timing, not about severity in either direction.
Case Details
There is no lawsuit and no case number — nothing has been filed. What exists is attorney interest: The Clark Firm, LLP (Texas) and Schmidt Law both run active investigation pages accepting inquiries from anyone sickened after eating the product, which is the standard posture in food-safety matters where illnesses tend to be reported days or weeks after consumption — if they come at all.
Status as of 24 August 2026
Check Your Jar — and Yourself
Three checks: (1) the jar — 6.7 oz bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter, UPC 194346207961, lot LB028ACP04, best-by 28 January 2027. Match all three before concluding anything; other lots are not recalled. (2) the purchase — Walmart-exclusive, in the 19 states listed above; Walmart purchase history in the app shows the exact item. (3) symptoms — gastrointestinal illness within about six days of eating it. Severe or persistent symptoms, high-risk patients (young children, older adults, pregnant, immunocompromised) belong at a doctor regardless of any legal question. If illness occurred: get the diagnosis documented, ask specifically about a stool culture, keep the jar if you still have it, and keep receipts.

What would change this page
A confirmed illness, a CDC outbreak entry, an FDA Class I designation, or a filed complaint — any of which would move this from recall notice to active litigation coverage.
Three Things to Ignore
Food recalls with zero victims still get squeezed for clicks and data.
'Salmonella outbreak payout' headlines
There is no outbreak — the CDC lists none for this product — and no payout. Pages promising settlement money for this recall are describing something that does not exist. (A 2025 pistachio-cream outbreak you may find in searches was a different product from a different company.)
Refund middlemen
Walmart refunds the jar at the counter without a receipt fight. Anyone charging to 'process' your recall refund is intercepting a $5 transaction.
Symptom-checker data harvesters
A quiz that wants your contact details before telling you salmonella symptoms is a lead trap. The symptoms are in plain text above, free.
Common Questions
Which product exactly is recalled?
bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter, 6.7 oz jar, UPC 194346207961, lot code LB028ACP04, best-by 28 January 2027 — sold only at Walmart, in 19 states. Other lots and other bettergoods products are not part of this recall.
Has anyone gotten sick?
Not as of 24 August 2026 — no reported illnesses and no CDC outbreak entry. The recall exists because inspectors found the bacteria in sealed jars, not because of illness reports.
Is there a lawsuit?
No. Law firms are investigating and accepting inquiries, which is routine at this stage, but nothing has been filed.
I ate it and felt fine. Do I need to do anything?
Return any remaining product to Walmart for a refund, or discard it. Salmonellosis shows up within about six days; past that window with no symptoms, there is nothing to pursue.
I ate it and got sick. What now?
See a doctor and say what you ate — ask about a stool culture, which is the evidence that links an infection to a product. Keep the jar and receipt. With a documented diagnosis, a case review with a food-safety firm is worth your time.
What are salmonella symptoms?
Diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps starting six hours to six days after exposure, usually lasting four to seven days. Severe dehydration, bloody stool, high fever, or symptoms in infants, elderly, pregnant or immunocompromised people warrant prompt medical care.
Who actually made this — Walmart?
No. bettergoods is Walmart's brand, but the product was recalled by Botticelli Foods (New York) and manufactured by Gustibus Alimentari in Italy. In any litigation, all three links of that chain would likely be examined.
How do I verify this page?
Through the FDA recall announcement for Botticelli Foods' bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter, Walmart's recall listing, and the firm investigation pages cited — as read on 24 August 2026.
Separate from this case: were you injured in the last 2 years?
Class-action payouts are fixed amounts through an administrator. A personal injury claim is a different case — and often worth far more. Free estimate, no obligation.
