The following milk allergy alert is from the CFIA and the FDA on October 4, 2011.
Flowers Foods is voluntarily recalling the following Mrs. Freshley"s multipack cereal bars, labeled in English/French for Canadian distribution, because they may contain undeclared non-fat dry milk.
- Mrs. Freshley’s Canadian Label Apple Cinnamon Fruit and Pastry Cereal Bars, UPC 072250002400
- Mrs. Freshley’s Canadian Label Blueberry Fruit and Pastry Cereal Bars, UPC 072250002387
- Mrs. Freshley’s Canadian Label Strawberry Fruit and Pastry Cereal Bars, UPC 072250002363
The recalled product involves the following distribution:
- In Canada: To food and convenience stores in Quebec and Ontario provinces
- In U.S: To discount stores nationwide in the dual-language (French/English) multipack carton
The recall was initiated after Flowers discovered that product containing non-fat dry milk was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of milk, and that product labeled for sale and distribution in Canada was sold for distribution in the U.S.
Canadian and U.S. consumers who have purchased the dual-language (English/French) labeled Mrs. Freshley’s cereal bars with the UPC codes noted are urged to return them to the place of purchase for product replacement or refund. No other Mrs. Freshleys cereal bars are included in this recall; only Mrs. Freshley’s cereal bars in dual-language packages are involved.
Consumers with questions may call Flowers’ Consumer Relations Center at 1-866-245-8921. The center is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time. Consumers also may contact the center via e-mail by visiting the Contact Us page at www.mrsfreshleys.com.
Ed. note: The product bears an OU-D.
