PROBAR LLC issues allergy alert on undeclared milk and soy in select flavors of Meal bars
PROBAR LLC of Salt Lake City, UT has initiated a voluntary recall of select flavors and lots of Meal bars, including Chocolate Coconut, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Original Trail Mix, Wholeberry Blast and Superfood Slam, due to the possible presence of undeclared milk and soy allergens. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk or soy may run the risk of a serious or life threatening allergic reaction if they consume the affected products. No other PROBAR products are affected.
PROBAR learned of the issue after receiving a complaint of an allergic reaction in a consumer after eating a PROBAR: MEAL Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip bar. Our investigation determined that an ingredient potentially contained milk and soy. To date, PROBAR has received this one report of illness.
Consumers can call 1-800-921-2294, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. MT, or email returns@theprobar.com for more information and how to return the product for a full refund.
PROBAR’s highest priority is the safety and quality of its products, which begins with organic, plant-based, real food ingredients. The company is working in close cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to fully resolve this issue. To maintain its promise of all products being dairy-free, vegan, Non-GMO Project Verified, Certified Gluten Free and kosher, PROBAR is taking all necessary steps to eliminate the ingredient from all production immediately and it will not be used in any flavors moving forward.
