To peanut or not to peanut?

What’s a salmonella-fearing person to do?

Well, this Friday kicks off the season for Girl Scouts cookies
and the organization is anticipating slow sales due to the economy and
the salmonella outbreak. According to a Girl Scouts release, their
suppliers are not part of the current peanut butter warning. That means
their peanut butter patties, Tagalongs, are safe to eat.

All
varieties are $4. You can purchase them in front of a supermarket or
through the form that’s probably circulating in your office.

Meanwhile,
Fresh & Easy has started a voluntary recall because of a possible
health risk in three of their products. They are: Milk Chocolate Peanut
Clusters, Sweet & Salty Granola Bars and Chewy Peanut Butter
Chocolate Chip Granola Bars.

The market removed these products
in January and are offering a full refund for the products purchased
any time prior. The voluntary recall is a precautionary measure; there
have been no illnesses reported.

Call Fresh & Easy at 1 (800) 648-8622 for questions about the recall. See here for more information about other peanut and peanut butter recalls.
