Press ReleaseSALT LAKE CITY -- Neither of the two licensed bakers affiliated with Girl Scout® Cookies, ABC Interbake or Little Brownie Bakers, source their peanut butter from the supplier involved in the current peanut butter warning. Peanut butter used by Little Brownie Bakers, the baker that supplies all Girl Scout Cookies sold in Utah, is supplied by Algood Food Company in Louisville, Ky.
All ingredients used in Girl Scout Cookies are regularly inspected to ensure they are safe for consumption.
The FDA and other regulatory agencies have indicated that Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) 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 any variety of Girl Scout Cookies.
Food safety and quality are of the utmost importance. The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the nation's premier entrepreneurship and educational program for girls. We appreciate all the support of the public.
