The FDA and other regulatory agencies have indicated that Peanut Corporation of
America is the focus of their investigation concerning a recent Salmonella
outbreak thought
to be caused by tainted peanut butter. PCA does not supply peanut butter used in
Girl Scout Cookies.
Food safety is of the utmost importance to Little Brownie Bakers (the bakery
used by Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas), ABC Bakers (the bakery used by Girl
Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains) and Girl Scouts. We appreciate the trust you
have placed in us to provide high quality, safe food.
