Peanut Butter Larabars

[GFqueen17]

I ordered a case of peanut butter larabars last week and today recieved an email explaining that they cancelled my order due to the recall of peanut butter larabars. I am confused why the peanut butter larabars were recalled due to the salmonella in peanut butter paste when larabars claim to be unprocessed. Isnt peanut butter paste processed?? what is peanut butter paste anyway??

pissed and confused.

I don't think they claim to be unprocessed. Some claim to be raw but the peanut butter ones are not. Even the raw ones are processed. They would have to be to make a bar.

General Mills did voluntarily recall that flavor of Larabar. Here is the recall link:

I would assume the food industry has a different definition of processed than we do so I think that's part of the problem. These are from the Larabar FAQ:

What is meant by raw?

Raw means uncooked food in its real, most natural form. At L

yes they do claim to be unproccessed, it says 'unproccessed' right on the wrapper.

My guess is that raw and unprocessed are loose terms in the food industry. Raw peanut paste is probabaly unprocessed.
