If Nutty Bars were in fact making people sick, then all our peanut
butter products would be making people sick since they all get peanut
butter from the same batch. But no one is claiming to have been made
sick from Peanut Butter Crunch Bars or PB&J Oatmeal Pies.

Nutty Bars have become an easy target because they are so well-known as
a Little Debbie product. None of our peanut-containing products are
affected by the recall. We do not source peanut butter from PCA.

Thank you,

If the Nutty Bars were contaminated, then we would be hearing people say they are getting sick off the other products as well. No one is saying, “I ate a Little Debbie Peanut Butter Crunch Bar and got sick.” Nor are they saying, “I ate a Little Debbie PB&J Oatmeal Pie and got sick.”

These products all use the same peanut butter that we manufacture in-house as the Nutty Bars. How could a contamination limit itself to one product when the peanut butter all comes from the same place.

Our Little Debbie products that contain peanut butter are not affected by the PCA peanut product contamination investigation.
