History

Peter Rahal made the first RXBAR in 2013 in his parents' Glen Ellyn basement with co-founder Jared Smith.[1] As of 2017, Chicago Bar Co. employs 75 people.[2] In October 2017, the company was acquired by Kellogg's for $600 million.[3][4] In March 2018, the company launched a line of nut butters that contain egg whites for added protein.[5]

On January 15, 2019, RXBAR announced that it was voluntarily recalling certain varieties of bars because they may contain undeclared peanuts.[6]
