Children's Dietary Grp Msg: FDA Recall: Nestle Carnation Fudge Kit

[Diana]

FDA Recall Announcement
Nestlé USA Announces Voluntary Recall on Nestlé Carnation Famous Fudge
Kits due to Incomplete Allergen Labeling of Peanut
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - May 04, 2010 - SOLON, OHIO - Nestlé USA's
Baking Division is initiating a voluntary recall of select Nestlé®
CARNATION® Famous Fudge Kits because the outer containers of some of
the kits were distributed without a complete allergen precautionary
statement. Consumers who have allergies to peanuts run the risk of
serious or life threatening allergic reactions if they consume
products containing peanuts.
The Famous Fudge Kits are seasonal items distributed nationwide in
supermarkets and club stores. The only products involved in the
voluntary recall include Nestlé CARNATION Famous Fudge Kits
distributed during the 2009 holiday season with day codes beginning
with 9225 through 9259, and a "Best By" date of June/July 2010. The
UPC codes for the affected products are 50000-62251 for the retail
version, and 50000-62248 for the club store version. No other Nestlé
products are impacted by this recall.
The components contained in the kit were completely labeled, including
a precautionary statement on one component stating "made in a facility
that also processes peanuts". However, the outer containers of some of
the kits were distributed without a complete precautionary statement.
As the health and safety of our consumers is paramount, we are
initiating this voluntary recall. We have advised the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration and will cooperate with them fully in this
voluntary recall. Providing safe, high quality products to our
consumers is our number one priority.
Consumers who are allergic to peanuts and who have purchased the
recalled products are advised by Nestlé not to consume them. Instead,
Nestlé asks these consumers to contact Nestlé Consumer Services
directly at 1-800-727-6300
begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-800-727-6300
end_of_the_skype_highlighting for instructions. Consumers should not
return the Fudge Kits to retailers.
Consumers with questions should contact Nestlé Consumer Services at
1-800-727-6300
