Recall for October 1, 2010

Hostess Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins Recalled

jobythebay
The Chocolate Chip variety of Hostess® Mini Muffins (Chocolate Chip variety) is voluntarily being recalled. These are the Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins multi-packs sold in retail stores throughout the United States. The FDA is aware of the fact that these multi- packs might have walnuts.

The package does say that the product may contain walnuts. So what is the problem? The problem is the discovery that during manufacturing some Banana Nut Mini Muffins were accidentally put into the Chocolate Chip Mini Muffin packaging. Usually the Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins do not contain walnuts.

Those with nut allergies are often very allergic to nuts - they don't just break out in hives! So far, so good - no one has gotten sick from the muffins. If you aren't allergic to walnuts, you can eat the muffins.

These are the Hostess:
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"

If you bought these Mini Muffins you can return them should return them to the store where you bought them or call Hostess Brands' Consumer Affairs Office at 1-800-483-7253.

    No joke here! My travel articles are kept in word but others are not. I have been writing for epinions for 10 1/2 years. We've had many deaths during that time. Epinions never closes their accounts and I never take them off my trust list. Jo
