Girl Scout cookies not affected by peanut butter recall

Girl Scout cookies now on sale have not been affected by the recent peanut butter recall, said Marianne Love, director of business services for the Girl Scouts of Northeast Ohio

“We contacted our baker, which is Little Brownie Bakers, and they have let us know that the company they get their peanut butter from is not the company in question,” she said. “We have been assured there is no concern.”

A nationwide recall of peanut butter has been issued due to a salmonella outbreak. Two of eight cookie varieties, Do-Si-Dos and Tagalongs, have peanut butter in them.

The cookie sale runs through March 8. People who wish to purchase cookies can call (888) 984-4664 to find a local troop.
