Circle City Marketing and Distributing doing business as Candy Dynamics, Indianapolis, IN, is issuing a voluntary recall of all Toxic Waste® brand Nuclear Sludge® Chew Bars, all flavors, Net wt. 0.7 oz (20 g) package. The product is imported from Pakistan.

A recent test performed by the California Department of Public Health has indicated that a lot (#8288A) of the cherry flavor of the above-listed product contains elevated levels of lead (0.24 parts per million; the U.S. FDA tolerance is 0.1 ppm) that potentially could cause health problems, particularly for infants, small children, and pregnant women.

The products are identified as: Toxic Waste® Nuclear Sludge® Cherry Chew Bar (UPC 0 89894 81430 6), Toxic Waste® Nuclear Sludge® Sour Apple Chew Bar (UPC 0 10684 81410 7), and Toxic Waste® Nuclear Sludge® Blue Raspberry Chew Bar (UPC 0 89894 81420 7). Each chew bar has a net wt. of 0.7 oz (20 g).

No other "Toxic Waste®" brand product is affected by this recall.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.

The recalled Nuclear Sludge™ Chew Bars were distributed nationwide in retail stores and through mail orders.

The company has discontinued distribution of the cherry flavor and had previously discontinued distribution of the other two flavors.

Candy Dynamics is sending recall notices to its direct customers. Anyone in possession of the recalled product should telephone the company for information on destruction of the product. Please call Eileen O’Neal at 317-228-5012 (Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm EST) for further information.

Dillon Candy Company Announces Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Peanut Rolls Due to Possible Health Risk

Dillon Candy Company is voluntarily recalling its 3 oz. peanut rolls as a precaution due to the recall expansion of Peanut Corporation of America which includes oil roasted, salted peanuts processed at its Blakely, GA facility since Jan 01, 2007. PCA is the focus of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration investigation into potential salmonella contamination of peanuts from its Blakely, GA facility.

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 getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis. For more information on salmonella, please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention web site at http://www.cdc.gov.

The Peanut Rolls were distributed nationally through retail stores and mail orders.

The following product is subject to recall:

Dillon’s 3 oz. Peanut Roll, UPC code 017279040033 with LOT CODES:

02907 through 35807
00708 through 35708
00509 through 02209

No Illnesses have been reported to date in connection to Dillon’s 3 oz. Peanut Roll. No other products sold by the Company, including its peanut brittle, are made with peanuts or peanut ingredients from Peanut Corporation of America and therefore are not affected by this recall.

Dillon Candy Company’s peanut rolls are no longer manufactured with peanuts supplied by Peanut Corporation of America.

Consumers may return recalled peanut rolls to Dillon Candy Company for a refund or destroy them. Consumers with questions may contact Dillon Candy Company at 800-382-8338, 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., EST, M-F.

Pecan Deluxe Candy Company Announces Nationwide Voluntary Recall of Certain Peanut Containing Products

Pecan Deluxe Candy Company in cooperation with the FDA is announcing a voluntary recall of certain peanut containing products because they may have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. The recalled products contain roasted peanuts supplied by Peanut Corporation of America, which has just announced an expansion of a voluntary recall covering all peanut products made in their Blakely, GA plant since January 1, 2007. Peanut Corporation of America is currently the focus of an ongoing investigation concerning recent Salmonella outbreaks. Pecan Deluxe has not received any reports of illness connected to any of these products.

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 getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

Pecan Deluxe Candy Company is currently in the process of notifying all of its customers who have received the products in question and directing them to remove the affected products from their distribution. The products are sold nationwide in bulk pack cases as an ingredient to manufacturers of frozen desserts. None of these products are sold directly to consumers.

The following products with the codes listed below are subject to this recall.

In Specific U.S. Markets, Russell Stover Candies, Inc. Issues Hazelnut Allergy Alert for the 2 7/8 Oz Size Of Private Reserve Assorted Chocolates

In specific U.S. markets (below), Russell Stover Candies, Inc., is recalling one lot code of its 2 7/8 oz size of Private Reserve Assorted Chocolates because one piece of candy in the assortment may contain undeclared hazelnuts due to a labeling error. Consumers allergic to hazelnuts run the risk of a serious allergic reaction if they consume this piece of candy. No incidents of illness or allergic reaction have been reported.

The recalled product was distributed in the following states and cities: Texas, California, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee; Southaven, Mississippi; Billings, Montana; Sparks, Nevada; and Madison Heights, Michigan. An investigation determined 29 boxes of this candy may have been purchased by consumers, and up to another 188 boxes may have reached retail store locations. All the retail stores have been contacted to have the suspected product removed from the shelves.

The candy containing the hazelnuts comes in a box with a red lid and gold border. The box is held closed by a gold cord tied in a bow. A label on the bottom right corner of the box identifies it as "Assorted Chocolates, Net Weight 2 7/8 oz." The side of the box is marked "01JUL09 N0349." Only product with the "N0349" lot code is affected.

The recall was initiated after discovering some of this product was manufactured with an incorrect bottom label, which does not list hazelnuts as an ingredient. The box contains six pieces of candy, but only one of them is covered in white chocolate, which is the piece that contains the hazelnuts.

Consumers who have purchased 2 7/8 oz packages of Russell Stover Private Reserve Assorted Chocolates, with the lot code ending in "N0349" are urged not to consume the white chocolate piece if they are allergic to hazelnuts.
