General Mills Issues Recall/Allergy Alert on Undeclared Pecans in Betty Crocker Triple Chunk Brownie Mix
General
Mills is recalling a limited number of its 21.2 ounce packages of Betty Crocker
Triple Chunk Brownie Mix because they may contain undeclared pecans. While not a
problem for most consumers, the potential presence of the nut is a concern for
consumers who are allergic to pecans. People who have allergies to pecans are
at risk for a severe allergic reaction if pecans are consumed.
The
recall is limited to the 21.2 ounce box, with "Better If Used By" and
one of the following three code dates: 29OCT04CF, 30OCT04CF or 31OCT04CF on the
box top.
The
recalled Triple Chunk Brownie Mix was distributed nationwide in retail stores.
The
problem has been corrected and no other General Mills products are affected by
this recall. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this
problem.
The
recall was initiated after it was discovered that the pecan-containing product
was distributed in a limited number of boxes that did not list pecans as an
ingredient.
Consumers
who have purchased 21.2 ounce boxes of Triple Chunk Brownie Mix with this date
code are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-800-446-1898.
Hansen Beverage Company Issues a Safety Alert and Product Recall of its Classic Sparkling Cider in 50.7 oz. Magnum Glass Bottles
Hansen
Beverage Company is voluntarily recalling its Classic Sparkling Cider in 50.7
ounce Magnum glass bottles following reports of some bottles breaking. The
recall covers approximately 40,000 bottles that were sold to consumers. Some of
the cider may be contaminated with yeast which may result in an increase in
internal pressure or there may be defects in the glass. This may cause the
bottle to break on its own, on shelves, in cupboards or in consumer's hands.
The
50.7 ounce Magnum green bottles are labeled "Hansen's Classic Sparkling
Cider - Hansen Beverage Company, Corona, CA 92882" and have a gold foil
wrap over the cap. The universal product code (UPC) is 70847 00590.
The
glass bottles being recalled were distributed to retail outlets nationwide in
November 2003. All lots are being recalled and the product has been removed
from store shelves.
Consumers
are urged to limit handling of the bottles and should not attempt to open the
bottles.
Consumers
should carefully dispose of unopened bottles in outside trash rather than
inside homes.
Consumers
having questions or requesting a refund should call Hansen's directly at (800)
426-7367 ext. 496 Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. PST.
