Hi all,
As we often hand out samples of Clif and Luna products at our events and we know many of you are very fond of Clif/Luna products, we feel it is important to pass along this safety information to you. See below for a full explanation, list of products affected, and contact information to learn more about the recall.

As many of you may have already heard, the FDA is investigating a
Salmonella outbreak tied to peanut butter from the Peanut Corporation
of America (PCA). PCA is a manufacturer and supplier of peanut
butter for many food companies and manufacturers. For a limited time
in 2008, Clif used PCA peanut butter in some of our products.

In light of this investigation, and with an abundance of caution,
Clif Bar & Company has enacted a voluntary recall of 14 of thier
products, containing peanut butter in the U.S. and Canada (please see
the complete list below).

Clif is taking these steps because, as a food company, consumer safety
is our top priority. As part of our journey to do better every day,
we feel strongly that issuing a voluntary recall is the right thing
to do.

PCA, not Clif Bar & Company, is the focus of an investigation by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concerning the Salmonella
outbreak thought to be caused by tainted peanut butter. We urge
everyone to destroy any of our recalled products to ensure no one
mistakenly eats them.

To check if products you have are part of our voluntary recall,
please see below for a list of our recalled items containing peanut
butter. If the product you have on hand is any of the products
listed AND has a best by/sell by date that matches that on the list,
we urge you to destroy it and any of our recalled products to ensure
no one mistakenly eats them.

Please know that no other Clif Bar & Company products or flavors are
included in this recall. As you know, we have many other products,
and you can safely enjoy our other peanut butter and non-peanut
butter products safely that are not on the recall list.

Additional details can be found at www.clifbar. com. If you have any
further questions, you may contact Clif Bar & Company at 1-800-
CLIFBAR (1-800-254-3227) .
