I thought they didnt use that kind of PB that got pulled off?

I see Larabar...but no Labrada in the "Snack Bars" list. There is a GNC bar and some Zone, Promax, Supreme Protein bars in there as well.

Labrada Products DO NOT contain Peanut Corporation of America Peanut Butter

Dear Valued Customer,

Labrada Nutrition realizes everyone in the food manufacturing world is focused on providing safe quality food products to consumers. To that end we are certain that the recent announcement of a major recall of peanut butter manufactured by Peanut Corporation of America is raising concern regarding the safety of the products manufactured everywhere, including Labrada Nutrition?s production facilities.

We are writing this letter to inform all our customers that no products manufactured in any of our production facilities, were produced using peanut butter involved in the recall. We do not purchase peanut butter or peanut paste from Peanut Corporation of America.

In addition we have checked with our suppliers of all other peanut related ingredients to determine their level of association with the recall, and we are pleased to inform you that none of these ingredients contain or were made with peanut based materials involved in the recall, and we have letters confirming this fact.

We wish to further inform you of steps we have taken in an effort to protect our customers and consumers from these types of issues. Our manufacturing facility?s environmental monitoring program, which includes testing specifically for salmonella, is designed to identify issues within the facility to manage the risk of food contamination before it happens. Finished product samples are also tested to assure that no contaminated lots reach our customers and consumers. They routinely test random samples of raw materials, but have just completed testing of our peanut containing ingredients and will be testing all peanut derived ingredients upon receipt, for such time as we can be assured the issue is again under control.

Labrada Nutrition is committed to providing our customers and consumers with safe, wholesome, and quality products now and for the future.

" Labrada Nutrition Voluntarily Recalls Rockin? Roll Brand Nutty Peanut Flavor Bars Due to Possible Health RiskContact:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ? HOUSTON, TX., Feb. 4, 2009 ? Labrada Nutrition is announcing a voluntary recall of specified lots of Rockin? Roll Brand Nut Roll Bars because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Though Labrada Nutrition is not aware of any reported cases of illness related to these products, it has issued this voluntary recall as a precautionary measure.

The recalled product contains roasted peanuts supplied by Peanut Corporation of America, which recently announced an expansion of a voluntary recall covering all peanut products made in their Blakely, GA plant since January 1, 2007. Peanut Corporation of America is currently the focus of an ongoing investigation concerning the recent Salmonella outbreaks.

Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

The following lots of product were distributed nationwide:

Rockin? Roll Brand Nutty Flavor Bars, 2.47 oz size, UPC# 10799 11559

No other Labrada Nutrition products are affected by this recall.

Consumers who have purchased Rockin? Roll Brand Nut Roll Bars should check the lot numbers, which can be found under the fold on the back of the wrapper of the individual bars and on the right side of each box of bars. If consumers find that they have product from the lots listed above, they are asked not to consume the products. Consumers seeking a replacement or exchange for recalled products should email qualitycontrol@labrada.com Labrada Nutrition provides only the highest quality food products and takes the safety of its customers seriously."
