Voluntary Recall
On January 19, 2009, we announced a voluntary recall of certain products including CLIF Bar, CLIF Builder’s, CLIF MOJO, CLIF Kid Organic ZBaR and LUNA Bar, in the U.S. and Canada because the peanut butter in those products was sourced, for a limited period of time, from the Peanut Corporation of America (PCA). PCA is a manufacturer and supplier of peanut butter for many food companies and manufacturers.
PCA is under investigation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a recent Salmonella outbreak thought to be caused by tainted peanut butter. In light of this investigation, and with an abundance of caution, Clif Bar & Company has enacted a voluntary recall. We take the health and safety of our consumers very seriously.

Saw this, this morning- so scary. Josh ate a mojo yesterday! I have to go check all of our bars. Thank you for posting this
Thanks so much! I'm checking my bars ASAP!
This recall is putting a damper on my eats :(
Ew! Another recall! I saw this on the news this morning!
I saw this on the news...this is sad!
So yesterday, I was walking to they gym when I got a phone call from CostCo. They told me that since I had bought Clif Bars back in NOVEMBER, I should return them or destroy them. How weird is it that they have that kind of file on me? Is that not the weirdest thing?
The worst part? I still have the bars. I haven't eaten them yet.
Thanks for posting this. I had a bunch of these in my pantry!
