More peanut-free products from Canada
Thanks, Beatrice, for the update! I love you Canadians! I wish our American allergy sufferers would demand these products in our marketplace.
Hi there,
I wasn’t sure how to publish something on your website, so I thought I’d contact you directly.
I’m not sure if you or your members are aware of the new Quaker Chewy “Peanut Free’ granola bars that are now available in Canada. Quaker has come out with 6 flavors of bars that are made in a peanut free facility. They have been available in Canada since May 2006. I’m not sure if they are available in the US. We purchase them here in our local Wal Mart stores and other grocery chains.
Also, last month there was another new peanut/nut free candy bar launched as well—Mars Bar has launched a new peanut/nut free bar. Again, not sure if these products are only available in Canada, but they are great.
I hope this helps…
Best Regards
Beatrice
Here’s a link I found to a British article referring to the bars. I could not get into Quaker’s Canadian website. I suspect they have blocked US ip addresses (foul!)
Here is a directory of all of Mars Canada’s brands. I didn’t see a nut-free brand on the list, but I’m a little clueless. Let me know if you know more about these!
Updated 12/12/2007: check out this morning’s post on the whole Mars Bars Controversy.
