General Mills issues voluntary class one recall

Rebecca Prescott21 Oct 2011

General Mills is voluntarily recalling a single day’s production of Chocolate Fiber One 90-​Calorie Chewy Bars because of a labelling issue.

Products produced on this date may have been packaged incorrectly, and may contain sensitive ingredients not listed on the box’s ingredient label, including the potential allergen, peanuts.

A production error resulted in a limited number of properly labeled, individually wrapped Chocolate Peanut Butter Fiber One 90-​Calorie Chewy Bar packages being inserted into 5-​count boxes labeled as Chocolate Flavour Fiber One 90-​Calorie Chewy Bars.

There have been no reports of allergic reactions or illnesses associated with this product, however, the possibility of an unlabeled allergen makes this a class one recall, the company said.

This voluntary recall includes only 5-​count boxes of Chocolate Fiber One 90-​Calorie Chewy Bars with the following ‘Better if Used By’ date printed on the top of the box: 19MAY2012BV.

Individually labeled foil packages of Chocolate Peanut Butter Fiber One 90-​Calorie Chewy Bars are visibly different from the Chocolate Fiber One 90-​Calorie Chewy Bars product depicted on the incorrect box. Rather than containing Chocolate Fiber One 90-​Calorie Chewy Bars, the box could contain Chocolate Peanut Butter Fiber One 90-​Calorie Chewy Bars.

Consumers allergic to peanuts, or who are unsure of whether they are allergic to peanuts, should not consume Fiber One 90-​Calorie products from 5-​count boxes bearing the Better if Used By date 19MAY2012BV on the top of the box and should contact General Mills for replacement or a full refund.
