cap as follows: "Lot: 120400 EXP 12/005" or "EXP 01/2006 LOT
120400". Initially a market withdrawal, the firm action is now a recall
because of a positive FDA sample of bulk product used to repack various sizes
(sample # 120400 collected on 2/7/01). This includes 1 oz. cellophane packs and
16 oz bottles, one gallon (4.5 lb) and 20 lb plastic tubs as well as 55 lb.

The 4.5 lb. or gallon and 20 lb tubs do

identification, nor does the bulk bags
(55 lb.)sold to several customers. The
4.5 lb or gallon, 20 lb. tubs and 55 lb. bags are sold only to restaurant and
food service firms (it is possible some of the gallons were sold to consumers since
some were in "retail" stores that also sell to institutions but may
not have a record of their location).
The firm claims all of these product sizes were brought back since there
is no coding.

FDA
ISSUES A 2nd WARNING AND AN IMPORT ALERT ABOUT KONJAC MINI-CUP GEL CANDIES THAT
POSE CHOKING RISK
The
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a second warning and announcing
an import alert concerning mini-cup gel candies that contain the ingredient
"konjac" (also known as conjac, konnyaku, yam flour, or glucomannan).
FDA decided a second warning was warranted (the first was issued on August 17, 2001)
after consultation with experts on choking from the Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC). CPSC confirmed that these candies pose a serious choking
risk, particularly to infants, children and the elderly. In addition, the
agency has issued an import alert to address the importation of these candies
from other countries.
These multi-fruit-flavored candies are typically packaged as individual, mouth-sized servings, and often feature an embedded piece of preserved fruit. Unlike gelatin products commonly found in the U.S., these candies do not readily dissolve when placed in the mouth.
