Recall notice
Check your cupboards for Market Pantry Chocolate Chip Chewy Granola Bars sold at Target stores, because they may contain peanuts, which could mean big problems for people with peanut allergies.
The bars were recalled by their maker, Leclerc Foods USA, after it was discovered the boxes may actually contain Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars and S'more Bars, not the Chocolate Chip Chewy Bars.
The recalled packages have a UPC code of 85239 20124 and a best by date of ''18JAN2010.'' The wrappers on the individual bars have the correct names on them. There's nothing wrong with the bars as long as you don't have a peanut allergy.
The bars can be returned for a full refund at Target. For information, call Leclerc Foods at 800-463-6144, weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
