Saw new commercial last night on t.v. for Peanut Free Quaker Chewy Ganola Bars. So I went to find them today. There are 8 varieties. In BIG letters on the box, MADE IN PEANUT FREE FACILITY.
It's great to see more companies comming out with Peanut FREE FACILITIES.
Great for Quaker!!

I know!--Isn't this just Awesome. This was always one of the first complaints each year from parents in our peanut\nut free school. No granola bars that were safe--now we have some! Just one less thing to worry about. YAY! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]

Is this specific to Canada? Does anyone know if they're available in the U.S?

hi Adele - they are Canada specific...all the US Quaker granola bars (minus some of the cereal-type bars) have a may contain, contain, or same equip warning.

Yes, it was a decision made by Quaker Canada.
Maybe Quaker USA would consider this in the future as well?

I wrote and asked them. I didn't get a canned email back, which was nice. They said they understand the situation and would like to provide peanut/tree nut free bars eventually, and are watching how the Canadian effort goes, and are considering how to have a pn/tn free facility.

I too was very excited about this new product - I didn't beleive the first person who told me about them. They are very yummy, hopefully the US Quaker will follow.
If anyone is in Minot or area I'll bring some when I come in September!

During the last few weeks of school all the stores in my neighbourhood were sold out of the peanut-free - but still had loads of the other stuff.
I have found a definite improvement in life with these bars. My son's school bans peanut/nuts - so for parties, treats, whatever, parents always send in Nestle peanut-free chocolate. (Well, other then one parent who sends in Chapman's Ice-cream sandwiches, lol) Anyway, all the parents seem very happy to have a non-chocolate alternative to send to school. Some of the Chewy's have chocolate chips, but it's not as bad as an entire chocolate bar.
I can't find the Quaker Chewy granola bars that your talking about....All of the boxes I see say the normal "made in a facility that process nuts....."

That's because the lucky people who have these are in Canada. I'm guessing you are in the US. THose Canadians get all the good stuff!
that would explain it.
