BOSTON -- Peanut butter Girl Scout cookies are not affected by the peanut butter recall, according to the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts.

The peanut butter used by ABC Bakers' Peanut Butter Sandwich and Peanut Butter Patty cookies is not linked to the recall. According to ABC Bakers, they do not source peanut butter from either PCA or King Nut. ABC Bakers' peanut butter supplier is Hampton Farms.

The Scouts said that incoming peanut butter shipments are tested for salmonella to prevent contamination of its products. ABC Bakers is the company used by Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts for their cookie sales.

Little Brownie Bakers also announced in a statement that their products are not made with peanut butter tied to the recall. The company said it does not use peanut butter supplied by the Peanut Corporation of America, which is the focus of the FDA Investigation.

The salmonella outbreak has killed at least six people and sickened more than 470 others in 43 states.

Girl Scout cookie sales started on Jan. 5 and ends on March 15.
