Safe and Still Delicious


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced concerns regarding salmonella contamination of peanut butter and peanut butter products. Be assured that these warnings do not apply to USANA’s Peanut Butter Crunch Nutrition Bar. USANA does not source its peanut butter ingredients from the supplier that the FDA has identified as a potential source of salmonella contamination. In addition, both USANA and its bar manufacturer conduct microbiological tests on each finished batch of Peanut Butter Crunch bars as well as on the raw ingredients that go into the product. The tests we conduct include specific assays for salmonella, as well as for other common microbiological contaminants. We will continue to keep abreast of this situation. But importantly, USANA Associates can be confident that their USANA products have been thoroughly tested and are salmonella-free.
