Orleans Packing Company Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Sulfites in Zorba Pepperoncini
Hyde

voluntarily recalling 350 cases of Zorba Pepperoncini, because it may

on the top of the cap. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that
the above product containing Sufites was distributed in packaging that did not
reveal the presence of sulfites. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem
was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company’s production and packaging processes.
Consumers who have purchased Zorba Pepperoncini are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-800-524-9284.

FDA ANNOUNCES RECALL OF MOTHER'S PRIDE AND NATA GEL CANDIES DUE TO CHOKING HAZARD
The
FDA is announcing the recall of approximately 16,000 packages of mini-cup gel
candies because they represent a choking hazard. This candy, distributed
nationwide to retail establishments, is sold under the names of Mother's Pride
and NATA, and the label describes the product as a mini-fruit bite. The candy
comes in small sealed plastic cups that contain gelatin with or without a chunk
of fruit.
These
candies contain the ingredient "konjac" (also known as conjac,
konnyaku, 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 risk, particularly to infants, children and the elderly. Local
authorities have reported three children's deaths from choking in the United
States associated with this type of jelly candy. There have also been reports
of deaths in other countries.
Each
jelly cup is about the size of a single-serve coffee creamer. The jelly cups are
in a plastic bag or plastic jar. The flavors sold are mango, assorted fruit and
lychee. Some of the candy bears warning labels, suggesting that it not be eaten
by children under age three.
The
FDA contacted Budget Promotions, the Houston, Tex., distributor recalling this
product, when it learned that the firm had distributed the mini-cup gel
candies. The firm is cooperating with the FDA and is voluntarily recalling this
product.
The
FDA has issued two previous general warnings against consuming mini-cup gel
candies that contain the ingredient "konjac". Although the agency
issued an import alert to address importation of these candies in October,
2001, candies imported prior to the import alert are still in the US market.
These candies are sold under various brand names, distributed by various
companies. The FDA continues to investigate and follow-up this issue. Budget
Promotions urges all consumers to return this product to the place of purchase
for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at (281)
495-9887.
