Doctor's CarbRite Diet Issues Allergy Alert on Certain Chocolate Brownie Flavored Bars

Doctor’s CarbRite Diet of New Brunswick, NJ is voluntarily recalling all lots of the 2 oz. Chocolate Brownie Doctor’s CarbRite Diet Bar that are missing the allergen statement, “Allergy Alert: Made on equipment that also processes soy, milk, egg, peanuts and tree nuts”, due to possible peanut allergen cross-contamination. This allergy statement would be found at the end of the Ingredients list. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to a specific type of allergen (e.g., peanuts, tree nuts {chestnuts, brazil nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, pine nuts, cashews}, eggs, and sulfites) run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

The recalled lots of the Chocolate Brownie Doctor’s CarbRite Diet Bar extend to all fifty states and the bar was offered through a variety of distribution channels including health food stores, gyms, and internet-based e-commerce sites.

This recall affects only the Chocolate Brownie flavor for Doctor’s CarbRite Diet Bars, those marked with the UPC # 0 39442 08112 4.

Chocolate Brownie Doctor’s CarbRite Diet Bars have been produced for over 10 years for sale without any serious adverse events or allergic reactions reported in the United States.

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the certain Chocolate Brownie flavored bars were distributed in packaging that omitted the appropriate allergen warnings: “Allergy Alert: Made on equipment that also processes soy, milk, egg, peanuts and tree nuts.” Examination of current lots of Chocolate Brownie revealed that the correct allergen warnings do appear.

This recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the Food and Drug Administration.

Consumers who purchased any one of the affected lot numbers in question are asked to return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund or credit. Consumers with questions may contact Doctor’s CarbRite Diet directly at (732) 545-3130, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Eastern Standard Time.

Candy Dynamics Recalls Toxic Waste® brand Nuclear Sludge® Chew Bars all flavors -- Net wt. 0.7 oz (20 g) package

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.

Out of an abundance of caution, the company has determined to recall all lots and all flavors of the product distributed from the product's inception in 2007 through January 2011.

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.

Odwalla: Expired Peanut-containing Bars from 2007 Affected by Peanut Recall -- If Any Remain, Consumers Should Destroy

Odwalla, Inc. of Half Moon Bay, Calif., alerts consumers that certain expired Odwalla Chocolate Chip Peanut and Odwalla Peanut Crunch bars with “Enjoy by” dates of December, 2007, contain peanuts included within the expanded recall announced by Peanut Corporation of America (“PCA”) on January 28th and may be contaminated with Salmonella.

No Odwalla bars with “Enjoy by” dates of January 1, 2008 or later are affected.

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’s Website at http://www.cdc.gov.

PCA has recalled all peanuts and peanut products made at its Blakely, GA, facility since January 1, 2007 because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

No illnesses have been reported in connection with the expired Odwalla Bars. Only Odwalla Chocolate Chip Peanut and Odwalla Peanut Crunch bars with “Enjoy by” dates of December, 2007 are affected.

The expired Odwalla bars affected include the following packages and “Enjoy by” codes:

* Odwalla Peanut Crunch Bars (2.2 ounce bars in caddies), with “Enjoy by” codes of Dec 0607C, Dec 0607D, and Dec 1407B.
* Chocolate Chip Peanut Odwalla Bars (2.2 ounce bars in caddies), with “Enjoy by” codes of Dec 0607D, Dec 0707C, Dec 1707B, Dec 1807A, and Dec 1807B.
* Chocolate Chip Peanut Odwalla Bars (2.2 ounce bars), in 6 pack cartons with “Enjoy by” codes of Dec 1307A, Dec 1307B, and Dec 2007A.

Consumers who may still have an Odwalla Chocolate Chip Peanut or Odwalla Peanut Crunch bar with these December 2007 expiration dates are requested to dispose of them in a safe manner. They were distributed in the U.S. in 2007 through retail stores. Odwalla is issuing this consumer alert out of an abundance of caution, even though it is highly unlikely any of these expired bars from 2007 -- more than 13 months past their “Enjoy by” dates -- remain in consumers’ possession.

Consumers with questions about the affected 2007 products can call the Voice of Odwalla customer service center at 1-800-639-2552. No other Odwalla products are affected.
