Rising Dough Bakery of Sacramento, California is voluntarily recalling all Rising Dough Brand Individual Wrapped Cranberry Muffins, because it contains undeclared Walnuts.

The Cranberry Muffins were distributed nationwide and sold in retail stores.

Hostess Brands, Inc. Issues Voluntary Recall of Hostess® Mini Muffins (Chocolate Chip variety) Due to Unlabeled Allergen

Hostess Brands, Inc. of Irving, Texas, is voluntarily recalling Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins multi-packs sold in retail stores throughout the United States with the knowledge of the FDA. Some of these multi-packs may contain muffins with undeclared walnuts, which is an allergen. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to walnuts run the risk of serious illness or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

The Product being recalled is:

Hostess® Mini Muffins (Chocolate Chip variety)
4 Packs of 5 muffins each
Net Wt 8 oz. (227 g)
UPC 45000-60703
Stamped code of "Best By: OCT 31 $7.98/lb $3.99" printed below will be
"62 259" followed by a capital letter, a time stamp and then "1029"

To date, no incidents of illness have been reported. People who do not have walnut allergies can eat the product without concern. The packaging does contain an allergen advisory statement: "May contain walnuts."

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that during manufacturing some Banana Nut Mini Muffins were inadvertently inserted into the Chocolate Chip Mini Muffin packaging. Normally, Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins do not contain walnuts. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by operator error in the packaging process.

This error was limited to one day’s production, and no other HOSTESS® products are part of this recall.

Consumers who purchased these Mini Muffins who wish to return them should return them to the retailer for a refund or contact Hostess Brands' Consumer Affairs Office at 1-800-483-7253 (Monday –Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CST) for a replacement coupon.

Liberté Yogourt Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Walnuts and Plums in Its Méditerranée Wild Blackberry Yogourt 6oz Product Distributed in the USA

Liberté Brand Products, St Hubert, Quebec, Canada announced that it is recalling all Liberté Méditerranée Wild Blackberry Yogourt 6 oz code dated Sept 02 distributed in the USA because it may contain undeclared walnuts and plums. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to walnuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the product.

Liberté Méditerranée Wild Blackberry yogourt was distributed nationwide. The product is packaged in a 6oz retail plastic container with the expiry code date of September 02 printed on the foil lid. The UPC Bar code is 0 65684 65434 5.

Liberte initiated the recall on August 11th 2009, when the company received an email from a consumer that found that containers labelled as Liberté Wild Blackberry yogourt actually contained the Liberté Méditerranée Plum and Walnut fruit preparation. Notwithstanding our internal quality safeguards, the Plum and Walnut filling was inadvertently put into the Wild Blackberry containers for some subset of this production run. The company has notified its distributors and retailers where the product was distributed and has asked that the products be removed from the shelves.

To date no illnesses have been reported from this product.

Consumers who have Liberté Méditerranée Wild BlackBerry Yogourt 6oz should destroy the product and contact Liberté at 1-888-340-9306 x 0 (Monday-Friday 8am-5pm EST) or via email at info@liberte.ca for a full refund.

The company is working cooperatively with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration until the recall is complete. We continue to evaluate the root cause of this problem and are making corrective actions.

We deeply regret the risk that this error has created for those who are allergic to the plum and walnut fruit preparation and the inconvenience that this recall has caused to our customers.
