The recent recalls involving peanuts and peanut products from Sunland have me concerned.  I eat a lot of peanut products \u2013 peanut butter, granola with peanuts, protein bars.  The products from Sunland are being recalled due to possible contamination with Salmonella.  Salmonella is a common bacterial infection that affects the GI tract and can be serious in those with fragile immune systems.  I wanted to make sure I shared the latest information I just read this morning regarding Crunch thinkThin bars<\/a> and the peanut recall.  <\/p>\n
