Hello Listmates,

Yesterday I posted an alert on this list about a peanut we found in a  
bag of Trader Joe's Plantain Chips.  Today my daughter realized that   
during a party she had over the weekend it was possible that a peanut  
from the bowl of mixed nuts may have ended up in the bowl of plantain  
chips and then into the bag when she was cleaning up. This makes  
perfect sense, and is the most likely explanation so I am taking back  
my warning about the Trader Joe's Plantain Chips.  I am very sorry  
for any trouble I may have caused by posting so quickly yesterday.
As for Trader Joe's, they were very responsive. The manager of the  
local store contacted their headquarters right away to start an  
investigation into it. Someone from their corporate headquarters  
called me today -- and that's when my daughter realized that the  
cross-contamination probably occurred right here at home. They had  
already started investigating it.   Sooo....I feel really stupid  
about this, but with peanut allergies I really think it's better to  
be safe than sorry.
