RxBars have been recalled because of undeclared peanuts in a variety of the protein bars, the Food and Drug Administration announced Wednesday.

Originally RxBars had recalled Chocolate Sea Salt and Coconut Chocolate due to potential peanut contamination in December but expanded the recall this week after consumers contacted the company to tell them about allergic reactions from other products. An investigation found the contamination came from an ingredient produced by a third party, according to the FDA.
