Girl Scout Cookies - An American Staple
According to Girl Scouts of the USA, Girl Scout cookies are not affected by the current salmonella recall associated with peanut butter. The organization recently announced, in a press release, that neither of the two licensed bakers of the iconic cookies, ABC Interbake and Little Brownie Bakers, source their peanut butter from Peanut Corporation of America, the supplier reportedly associated with the current recall.
Girl Scout Cookies are, of course, a familiar part of American culture. For more than 80 years, Girl Scouts have sold Samoas, Tagalongs and Do-si-dos to help Girl Scout Daisies, Brownies, Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors support their local activities. We've already bought a few boxes of the Caramel deLites and Dos-si-dos, and will likely buy more. For more information on where to get your own, go to www.girlscoutcookies.org.
It is, after all, "Girl Scout Cookie time."
