RXBAR recall expanded

After a previous recall of various chocolate bars, the recall is being expanded to include additional flavors because they may contain trace amounts of undeclared peanuts, according to a Department of Defense All Food and Drug Activity message sent Jan. 15. The product’s packaging does contain an advisory on the label relating to peanuts that notes that the bars are “Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, milk, soy and wheat.”

The Defense Commissary Agency has publicized this recall to all its stores, said Richard Stith, lead consumer safety officer for DeCA headquarters at Fort Lee, Virginia. Whenever a commissary has recalled or withdrawn products in its inventory, they are immediately removed from store shelves.

The following products are affected by the recall expansion. (All dates are 2019)
