June 3 2016  – Nature Valley

Following the General Mills recall, Nature Valley Protein Chewy Bars and Nature Valley Simple Nut Bars have also been recalled – please find attached official Press Release.

We are affected by this recall

Foster’s Food Fair-IGA would like to announce that General Mills is voluntarily recalling select flavors of Nature Valley Protein Chewy Bars and Nature Valley Simple Nut Bars.

The recall is being issued due to the expansion of the SunOpta sunflower kernel recall for the potential presence of Listeria monocytogenes.

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

All date codes of the SKU’s listed below are included in this recall.

No other Nature Valley Bars are included in this recall.

We encourage all customers who have purchased items listed below from any of our Foster’s Food Fair-IGA, Priced Right or Bay Market locations to check both the “Best By” dates and lot codes, and to return affected product for a full refund.

Please discontinue consumption.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out by email ([email protected]) or by phone (345-945-3663).

June 1st, 2016 – General Mills

Foster’s Food Fair IS affected by this recall.

Foster’s Food Fair-IGA would like to announce that General Mills is collaborating with health officials to investigate an ongoing, multistate outbreak of E. coli O121 that may be potentially linked to Gold Medal flour, Wondra flour, and Signature Kitchens flour. Out of an abundance of caution, a voluntary recall is being made. To date, E. coli O121 has not been found in any General Mills flour products or in the flour manufacturing facility and the company has not been contacted directly by any consumer reporting confirmed illnesses related to these products.

Based on the information that has been shared with General Mills, some of the ill consumers may have also consumed raw dough or batter. Consumers are reminded to not consume any raw products made with flour. Flour is an ingredient that comes from milling wheat, something grown outdoors that carries with it risks of bacteria which are rendered harmless by baking, frying or boiling. Consumers are reminded to wash their hands, work surfaces, and utensils thoroughly after contact with raw dough products or flour, and to never eat raw dough or batter.

Although most strains of E. coli are harmless, others can make you sick. E. coli O121 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea and dehydration. Seniors, the very young, and persons with compromised immune systems are the most susceptible to foodborne illness.
