Cub Foods Brand Peanut Butter Cookies Recalled as Part of Nationwide Peanut Corporation of America Recall

Cub Foods is Recalling Cub Foods Brand Peanut Butter Cookies Sold at Stores in Minnesota and Iowa

STILLWATER, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CUB FOODS is voluntarily recalling five peanut butter cookie products made in its bakery departments because they may contain peanut butter that has the potential to be contaminated with salmonella. The precautionary move follows a nationwide recall issued by Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) of Parnell’s Pride brand peanut butter, which is used in some store bakeries.

The products were sold at Cub Foods stores in Minnesota and Iowa and are marked with a sell-by-date through and including January 26, 2009. The identified items have not been directly linked to the salmonella outbreak and there have been no reported cases of the illness. However, because the safety of customers is a top priority and out of an abundance of caution, Cub Foods has voluntarily recalled the products.
