Who Is Boticelli Foods and Why Did They Recall This Pistachio Butter?

Boticelli Foods is a Melville, New York-based importer that brings Italian grocery products into the U.S., including this pistachio butter made by Gustibus Alimentari in Assoro, Italy. The product was sold under Walmart’s own Bettergoods private label, so most shoppers had no way of knowing an Italian manufacturer or a New York importer was even involved. That matters here because it’s why the jar on your shelf says Bettergoods, not Boticelli or Gustibus — you have to look past the store brand to find who’s actually responsible.

What Happened With This Pistachio Nut Butter Between July and August 2026?

Walmart learned on July 17, 2026 that the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services had tested three jars of the pistachio butter during a routine inspection at a Walmart store. All three came back positive for Salmonella. That single positive result — from a state inspector’s routine check, not a customer getting sick — is what triggered the recall.

Boticelli Foods voluntarily recalled the one affected lot on August 3, 2026, working with Gustibus and the FDA. Only jars bearing Lot Code LB028ACP04 are included. No other lots of this product are affected, and as of the recall notice, no illnesses had been reported.

Salmonella isn’t rare in food recalls — it shows up in roughly one out of every nine recalls each year — but it’s still worth taking seriously. In healthy adults it typically causes fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps that clear up on their own. In young children, older adults, or anyone with a weakened immune system, it can get into the bloodstream and cause more serious infections. This isn’t the only ready-to-eat product pulled from shelves this month — a separate nationwide recall covered several lunchmeat brands over Listeria concerns, a reminder that routine inspections catch these issues more often than most people realize.

That single lot number is the whole story. If your jar doesn’t have it, you’re fine.

How to Check If Your Bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter Is Recalled

Here’s exactly how to know if this recall includes you.

• Shoppers who bought a 6.7oz (190g) glass jar of bettergoods Pistachio Nut Butter at a Walmart store
• Anyone whose jar carries UPC 194346207961
• Anyone whose jar carries Lot Code LB028ACP04, printed near the expiration date
• Anyone whose jar shows an expiration date of January 28, 2027

Who does not need to worry:

• Shoppers whose jar shows a different lot code — no other lots are affected
• Anyone who bought a different Bettergoods product, since this recall covers only the pistachio nut butter
• Shoppers outside the 19 listed states, since the product wasn’t distributed elsewhere

Bettergoods Pistachio Butter Buyers Outside the 19 Listed States — Are You Still Covered?

If you’re outside Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington, or Wyoming, this specific lot wasn’t distributed to your state. That said, product does occasionally cross state lines through gifts, travel, or resale, so the lot code check still applies no matter where you bought it.

Two minutes checking a lot code beats a week of stomach cramps. That’s the whole trade-off here.

What Should Bettergoods Pistachio Butter Buyers Do Right Now?

1. Check the lot code on your jar. It’s printed near the expiration date on the label.
2. If it reads LB028ACP04, stop eating it immediately — don’t just plan to finish the jar first.
3. Don’t try to cook or heat your way around this. Salmonella risk isn’t something a spoonful of pistachio butter on toast is going to fix.
4. Return the jar to the Walmart where you bought it for a full refund. You don’t need the receipt.
5. If you have questions, email [email protected] or call 631-543-7000, extension 203, between 9am and 5pm EDT.
6. If you or someone in your household ate the product and developed fever, diarrhea, or stomach cramps, contact a doctor and mention the recall.

Takes about two minutes to check.
