Glutino Recalls Organic Chocolate Peanut Bars

Due to the expanded Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) recall, Glutino is voluntarily recalling its Organic Chocolate Peanut Bars (specific lots 0358A, 0368A, 1338A, 1968A, 1978A, 2548A, 2558A, 2908A, 3368A). The recalled Glutino Organic Chocolate Peanut Bars come in 5 oz packages (5 bars per box) and are sold nationwide as well as on ww.glutenfree.com. It is important to note that there have been NO cases of illness related to these bars. The products and lots in question have been tested for salmonella and were NEGATIVE but Glutino is nonetheless voluntarily recalling this product as a precautionary measure since the safety of our customers is of utmost importance to us.

Please note that the recall is ONLY related to the Glutino Organic Chocolate Peanut Bars and does not affect the Glutino Organic Chocolate Banana Bars or Glutino Organic Wildberry Bars or any of the Glutino Breakfast Bars. All our products are gluten-free and the recalled bar in question is gluten-free; this recall is strictly in response to the peanut recall in the USA. Consumers, who have purchased this product and still have not consumed them, can return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Consumers with questions may contact the Company at 1-800-363-3438.
