According to the FDA, Built Brands recalled its 'Banana Cream Pie Puffs' in 2022 due to potential E. coli contamination, highlighting a potential health risk associated with the product. This raises serious questions about the overall safety and nutritional value, leading many to ask: are built puff bars healthy for you?.

In a recent report from the CDC, 48 people across 19 states fell ill and one person died from an E. coli outbreak linked to organic carrots. These were recalled recently by the supplier, Grimmway Farms, and involved numerous brands sold at major retailers across the U.S. and Canada.

In 2022, Built Brands initiated a voluntary recall of a flavor of its 'Puffs' product due to potential E. coli contamination, marking one of several controversies for the company. This incident, alongside others, has contributed to ongoing questions about product safety, nutritional claims, and business practices, all of which form the core of the Built protein bar controversy.
