"For consumers who are not allergic to almonds, there is no safety issue with the product."

When I got the email from FARE this morning I wrote back asking about that:

You mean their almonds are produced on PF lines?

You mean this gelato is produced on a PF line?

I actually just got an automated call from Stop & Shop regarding this recall.  I have bought his brand, though not recently, but not that flavor.  But I guess that I bought that brand using my card puts me in their system and on the auto call list.

I think it was this brand that nameless mentioned years ago. I don't know if they had their peanut varieties then. I have only actually seen their stuff since moving here and haven't called them.

Interesting - you'd think the amount of Chobani yogurt I buy using their card would have triggered a call for me, LOL.  Holy cow, when DS is home from college, you wouldn't believe how much of that stuff we go through!
