Some Clif Bars Recalled Because They Contain Nuts Not Listed In Ingredients

EMERYVILLE, Calif. (CBS13) - Clif Bar & Company is initiating a voluntary recall of some of their protein bar because of the unlabeled presence of nuts.

Clif  Builder's bar chocolate mint flavor, and Clif Kid Zbar Protein chocolate mint, and Clif Kid Zbar Protein chocolate chip are being recalled due to possible presence of undeclared peanuts and some tree nuts, including almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, walnuts and coconuts, the company said in a statement on Thursday.

Clif Bar & Company says they're taking this precautionary safety step for people who are allergic to peanuts and the nuts listed above. They advise those allergic to the nuts to not eat them and return the products to the store they were purchased for an exchange or full refund.
