PECAN ALLERGY ALERT
December 19, 2003
TO: Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network Members
FROM: The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network and General Mills
RE: Betty Crocker Triple Chunk Brownie Mix
General Mills is notifying members of The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis
Network that they are recalling a limited number of 21.2-ounce packages of
Betty Crocker Triple Chunk Brownie Mix because they may contain undeclared
pecans.
The recall is limited to the 21.2-ounce box, with "Better If Used By" and
one of the following three code dates: 29OCT04CF, 30OCT04CF, or 31OCT04CF
on the box top.
The recalled Triple Chunk Brownie Mix was distributed nationwide in retail
stores. The problem has been corrected and no other General Mills products
are affected by this recall. No illnesses have been reported to date in
connection with this problem.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the pecan-containing
product was distributed in a limited number of boxes that did not list
pecans as an ingredient.
Consumers who have purchased 21.2-ounce boxes of Triple Chunk Brownie Mix
with this date code are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a
full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at (800)
446-1898.
This mailing has been funded by General Mills to be sure you are aware of
the situation.
