May 22, 2014 at 11:58PM Kind Healthy Snacks Issues Allergy Alert Due to Potential Presence of Peanut Protein in Strong and Kind Bars and Kind Healthy Grains Maple Pumpkin Seeds Bars

NEW YORK - KIND Healthy Snacks (KIND) is voluntarily recalling STRONG and KIND bars as well as KIND Healthy Grains Maple Pumpkin Seeds with Sea Salt bars after learning that, contrary to KIND's strict quality specifications, its supplier roasted pumpkin seeds using equipment that had also been used to roast peanuts. 'While we know our supplier conducted rigorous allergen cleans before roasting the seeds, they did not perform tests to validate that no peanut particles remained, and KIND takes no chances when it comes to the safety of our consumers,' said John Leahy, President of KIND.
