LUNA & Clif Bar Recall

As many of you may have already heard, the FDA is investigating a Salmonella outbreak tied to peanut butter from the Peanut Corporation of America (PCA). PCA is a manufacturer and supplier of peanut butter for many food companies and manufacturers. For a limited time in 2008, we used PCA peanut butter in some of our products.

In light of this investigation, and with an abundance of caution, Clif Bar & Company has enacted a voluntary recall of 14 of our products containing peanut butter in the U.S., and 4 products containing peanut butter in Canada.

We are taking these steps because, as a food company, your safety is our top priority.

To check if the products you have are part of our voluntary recall please see the list below. If the product you have on hand is any of the products listed AND has a best by/sell by date that matches that on the list please call us to discuss the appropriate next steps to ensure no one mistakenly eats the product.

Please know that no other Clif Bar & Company products or flavors are included in this recall. As you know, we have many other products that you can safely enjoy.

If you have additional questions, please call (me/us).

For team members, organizations and clientele that you represent, please direct them to www.clifbar.com or Clif Bar & Company at 1-800-CLIFBAR (1-800-254-3227) for additional details.


Sincerely,
