Peanut Butter Scare


Our creamy peanut butter ice cream drink, the ET, is made with real peanut butter.  Naturally, we were shocked to hear about the Salmonella found in peanut butter around the nation.

We did some investigation and found that our customers are not at risk if they consumed an ET at Bryant's Cocktail Lounge.

We only use Reese's peanut butter in our ice cream drinks.  We have found that Reese's makes the best peanut butter, which gives the ET a special taste.  According to Hershey's, who makes the Reese's peanut butter, there are no peanuts from the Peanut Corporation of America used in and Reese's product.  Hershey's processes all their own peanuts in their own plants. 

Therefore, there is no risk of Salmonella in our peanut butter products.
