involved in this recall. The capsules are packaged in white 150cc plastic
bottles with green lids under the Nature's Way brand label and can be

Eden Brook Fish Market
Inc. Recalls Thirty-Five Pounds of Smoked Trout Because of Possible Health Risk
Eden
Brook Fish Market Inc., 73 Pleasant St., Monticello, NY 12701 is recalling its
smoked trout code # 0621 because it may be contaminated with Listeria
monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections
in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune
systems. Although healthy persons may suffer only short-term symptoms such as
high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea,
Listeria infection can cause miscarriage and stillbirth among pregnant women.
The recalled smoked trout with code #0621, was sold wholesale and retail, in
the New York City, Westchester and Sullivan County areas. No illness has been
reported to date in connection with the problem.
The
potential for contamination was noted after routine sampling and testing by the
New York State Department of Agriculture and Market Food Inspectors revealed
the presence of Listeria monocytogens in some of the smoked trout. Production of
the product has been suspended while the New York State Department of
Agriculture and Markets continues their investigation as to the source of the
problem.
Consumers
who have purchased the smoked trout with code #0621 are urged to return it to
the place of purchase for a FULL REFUND. Consumers with any questions may
contact the company at (845) 791-4345 or fax us at (845) 791-1601.
Mrs. Smith's Bakeries
Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Whey in Snack Carrot Cake
Mrs.
Smith's Bakeries, is voluntarily recalling its 3.5 ounce packages of Mrs.
Freshley's, BlueBird, Aunt Hannah, and Blue Ribbon carrot cake because they may
contain undeclared whey, a diary product. People who have allergies to dairy
products run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they
consume these products.
The
recalled snack carrot cakes were distributed nationwide in retail stores and
through vending machines. The product comes in a 3.5 ounce, clear plastic
package marked with "best used by" date of August 4th or earlier. The
recall was initiated after it was discovered that the whey-containing product
was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of whey.
Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary
breakdown in the company's production and product change processes. The problem
has been corrected and production of the product has resumed.
Consumers
who have purchased 3.5 ounce packages of Mrs. Freshley's, BlueBird, Aunt
Hannah, or Blue Ribbon carrot cake with a "best if used by" date of
August 4th or earlier are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a

State
Agriculture Commissioner Nathan L. Rudgers today issued an alert to consumers
who are sensitive to eggs, not to consume Homerun Ball Biscuits distributed by
T Up Trading, Inc., 60 Metroway, Seacaucus, New Jersey, 07094 due to the
presence of undeclared eggs. People who have allergies to eggs run the risk of
serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products.
Homerun Ball Biscuits are packaged in 155-gram (5.46 ounces) plastic containers
within a foiled bag. The container code is 20 03-03-28. The biscuits are a
product of Korea.
Routine
sampling by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets food
inspectors revealed the product contained undeclared eggs. The product was
distributed in the New York Metropolitan area. No illnesses have been reported
to date. Consumers who are allergic to eggs and purchased Homerun Ball Biscuits
are urged to return them to the place of purchase.
The
Food and Drug Administration is announcing a recall by Thomas Diaz, Inc., of
Toa Baja, Puerto Rico of 1,500 cartons of Fruzel assorted Natural Fruit Jelly
Candy because these products present a choking hazard. The product is
distributed to wholesale and retail establishments throughout Puerto Rico under
the " Neo USA" brand.
The
mini jelly candies come in assorted flavors. Each mini jelly cup is about the
size of single-serve coffee creamer. The candies are packaged in 16.5 gram jars
with 88 units per jar. These candies contain the ingredient "konjac"
(also known as conjac, konnyaku, yam flour, or glucomannan). The Food and Drug
Administration and the Consumer Product Safety Commission staff consider this
type of candy to pose a serious choking risk, particularly to infants, children
and the elderly. There have been six children's deaths from choking associated with
this type of jelly candy throughout the United States in recent years. There
have also been reports of deaths in other countries.
"FDA continues to warn consumers about this product, which poses a risk
that must not be tolerated," said Dr. Lester M. Crawford, FDA Deputy
Commissioner. Consumers are urged to return this product to the place of
purchase. Consumers with questions may call Thomas Diaz, Inc., at (787)
784-5606.
In August and October 2001, the FDA issued general warnings against consuming mini-cup gel candies that contain the ingredient "konjac." Other firms recalled gel candies. In October 2001, the agency issued an Import Alert. Import Alerts identify problem commodities and communicate guidance to FDA field offices and the importing community for detention of products that appear to be in violation of the law. However, candies imported prior to the import alert are still in the US market. This type of candy is sold under various brand names and are distributed by various companies. The FDA continues to investigate this issue.
Product: "SAFEWAY JUMBO
beef franks"
Codes: Produced 6/22/02. The products being recalled
are 16-ounce packages of "SAFEWAY JUMBO beef franks." Each
package label bears either “SELL BY AUG28, 2E EST. 898” or "USE BY AUG28,
1E EST. 898" and no numbers appear within the USDA mark of inspection.
Problem: The product is turkey franks incorrectly
labeled (misbranded) as beef franks.
Discovered: On 7/11/02, the firm's
quality assurance staff determined, through monitoring, that the product had
been incorrectly labeled.

Interstate
Bakeries Corporation is voluntarily recalling all Drake's Sunny Doodles snack
cakes marked with BEST BEFORE DATES or SELL BY DATES of July 22 through August
2. During a routine review of product formulation, it was discovered that the
soy flour used in Sunny Doodles was not listed on the packages' ingredient
legend. No other Drake's Cakes are affected by this recall.
Consumption
of this product by people who have an allergy or sensitivity to soy protein may
result in a serious allergic reaction. As a precaution, Drake's will remove all
Sunny Doodles from store shelves and will distribute new product, which does
not contain any soy flour. The company has not received any complaints or
reports of illness related to this mislabeling
Sunny
Doodles are distributed in 3oz snack packs and 12oz family packs primarily on
the East Coast in the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia,
West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
People
with known soy allergies should not consume the recalled product and should
contact Interstate Bakeries Consumer Affairs Office at 816 502 4012 or the
www.drakescake.com Web site for reimbursement. It is not necessary for
customers without a soy allergy to return already purchased product.
The
New Hampshire Department of Health & Human Services' Bureau of Food
Protection has ordered the recall of Granite State Artesian bottled water due
to the presence of coliforms found in water samples tested this week. Coliforms
are rod-shaped bacteria that can cause illness in humans.
The
bottled water, produced by Turner's Dairy in Salem, NH, is distributed in
Massachusetts and in nine New Hampshire stores located in Nashua, Manchester,
Pelham, Salem, and East Derry. All stores have been notified to remove the
water from their shelves.
People
who have bottles of Granite State Artesian water at home or work are asked to
return the bottled water to the store where it was purchased. Those individuals
who have questions about this recall or about coliforms can call the New Hampshire
Department of Health and Human Services at 800-852-3345.
Hanmi,
Inc. is announcing a recall of all flavors of Cup Jelly 12/1000 grams that have

Missouri, Minnesota, Michigan, and Indiana. Each mini Jelly cup is about the
size of a single serve coffee creamer.
These
candies contain the ingredient conjac, konyaku, yam flour, or glucomannan. The
Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Food and Drug Administration
consider this type of candy to pose a serious choking hazard particularly to
infants, children, and the elderly. There have been six deaths associated with
this type of candy throughout the United States in recent years. Customers are
requested to return these items to Hanmi, Inc. If you have any questions,
please contact John Kim at 773-271-0730.
Spice
World, Inc. of Orlando, FL is voluntarily recalling 1 oz. plastic bottles of
Spice World brand BASIL LEAVES, because it has the potential to be contaminated
with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal
infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened
immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience
fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In
rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism
getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illness such as arterial
infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), and endocarditis and arthritis.
Fifty-two
(52) cases (1,248 bottles) or BASIL LEAVES were distributed through
supermarkets in South Florida. The product is packed in 1 oz. plastic bottles
with a green and white label stating Spice World brand BASIL LEAVES with the
code"0912" stamped in ink on the label.
When
BASIL LEAVES are used in preparing foods cooked at 165 degrees Fahrenheit or
higher, the risk of food borne illness due to Salmonella is significantly
reduced. Nevertheless, the company understands that some customers may not cook
this product at such temperatures and wishes to notify the public accordingly.
No illnesses have been reported to date. The company has ceased distribution of
the product with the code date in question.
Consumers who have purchased Spice World 1 oz. BASIL LEAVES, coded 0912, are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-800-433-4979

New
York State Agriculture Commissioner Nathan L. Rudgers today warned consumers
not to consume Dry Fermented Sausage manufactured by Zhang Charn Meat Market
Co., Inc., 135-137 Mott Street, New York, New York 10013 because of the
presence of Salmonella. Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and
sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and
others with weakened immune systems.
Healthy
persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be
bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection
with Salmonella can result in the organism entering the bloodstream and
producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected
aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
Routine
sampling by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets food
inspectors revealed the presence of Salmonella. The Dry Fermented Sausage was
sold in the New York City area in uncoded, plastic bags. No illnesses have been
reported to date.
Consumer's
who have purchased the Dry Fermented Sausage from Zhang Charn Meat Market Co.,
Inc. should discard it or return it to the point of purchase.

Blue and White Food Products Corp. Recalls Sabra Salads Lox Spread Because of Possible Health Risk
Blue
and White Food Corp. of Astoria NY, is recalling its 7 ounce plastic containers
of "Sabra Salads Lox Spread (Smoked Nova Scotia Salmon)" because they
have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an
organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young
children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems.
Although healthy persons may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high
fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria
infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The
recalled Sabra Salad Lox Spread was distributed in the NYC Metropolitan area,
in retail stores. The product comes in 7ounce plastic containers marked with
the code 090102 on the lid. The potential for contamination was noted after
routine sampling by NYS Agriculture and Markets Food Inspectors revealed the
presence of Listeria monocytogenes in some 7 ounce containers of Sabra
Salad Lox Spread. Production of the product has been suspended while the
company continues their investigation as to the source of the problem.
Consumers who have purchased 7ounce packages of Sabra Salads Lox Spread are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 718-932-9000.
