FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- November 12, 2007 -- Del Rey Tortilleria, Inc., Chicago, Illinois, is announcing the recall of its flour tortilla products.
Included in the recall are flour tortillas of all sizes [White Flour Tortillas; Tortillas de Harina(6 inch); Burritos 2, 3, and 4; and Fajita 8" size] with the name "Del Rey" on the label, and with one of these Date Codes: OCT/17/07; OCT/20/07; OCT/24/07; NOV/04/07; NOV/10/07; or NOV/11/07.
Illinois state officials have told us that they believe there is a connection between the tortillas and recent illnesses in Racine, WI schools, in which students experienced vomiting, nausea and abdominal cramps. If you experience symptoms of this type, you should consult a health professional.
State officials have told us that they do not believe the problem involves microbial contamination. Del Rey is not certain that its products caused the reported symptoms, but is recalling the product nevertheless as a precaution while its investigation continues.

The products were distributed nationwide through food distributors and grocery stores.
Consumers should immediately return any product that is subject to this recall to the store where it was purchased for a full refund or replacement.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- November 9, 2007 -- NapaStyle of Napa, California is recalling their Romano Pitchers and Tumblers, because they may contain high levels of leachable lead. No illnesses have been reported to date. The recall was a result of an FDA test that showed that the items may contain lead introduced by the manufacturing process by our supplier.
Consumption of leachable lead from the ceramicware can cause severe health problems; especially in infants, young children and pregnant women. High lead exposures can cause a baby to have low birth weight or be born prematurely, or can result in miscarriage or stillbirth. Lead can cause damage to the central nervous system, resulting in learning disabilities and behavioral disorders that could last a lifetime. Children with lead poisoning may not look or act sick.
The Romano Pitchers and Tumblers were distributed through our retail stores in California and nationwide through our mail order catalog.
These pieces are roughly glazed, with streaks of dark brown clay showing through the variegated green finish.
Product Specs:
* Pitcher, 44 oz., 7 1/2" h.
* Four Tumblers, 145 oz., 4 1/4" h

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Jacksonville, FL -- October 5, 2007 -- Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. is recalling one code of its 1.75 quart (1.65 liter) cartons of "Prestige Chocolate Ice Cream" because of a potential error in packaging. Some of the products may have the correct lid identifying the product as chocolate almond, but the "tub" is identified as only chocolate. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to almonds run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products. Given this serious issue, the company decided to pull the product from all its stores and encourages customers with any concerns to return the product.
The product comes in an oval 1.75 quart paper carton marked with plant code of 12-356 and an expiration date of JUN 25 08 on a white strip on the side of the carton. The cartons indicate that the product inside is chocolate ice cream while the lid may state that the product is chocolate almond.
The recalled "Prestige Chocolate Ice Cream" was only distributed to Winn-Dixie and Save-Rite stores in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
The company has not received any reports from customers in connection with this problem.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the almond-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of almonds.
Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by chocolate ice cream cartons getting on the line while chocolate almond was being produced. The Food and Drug Administration has been informed and there is complete cooperation with them in conducting this recall.
Consumers who have purchased 1.75 quart (1.65 liters) cartons of Prestige Chocolate Ice Cream with JUN 25 08 code date are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. The cartons indicate that the product inside is chocolate ice cream while the lid may state that the product is chocolate almond.

The product comes in an oval 1.75 quart paper carton marked with plant code of 12-356 and an expiration date of JUN 25 08 on a white strip on the side of the carton. The cartons indicate that the product inside is chocolate ice cream while the lid may state that the product is chocolate almond.
The recalled "Prestige Chocolate Ice Cream" was only distributed to Winn-Dixie and Save-Rite stores in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
The company has not received any reports from customers in connection with this problem.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the almond-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of almonds.
Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by chocolate ice cream cartons getting on the line while chocolate almond was being produced. The Food and Drug Administration has been informed and there is complete cooperation with them in conducting this recall.
Consumers who have purchased 1.75 quart (1.65 liters) cartons of Prestige Chocolate Ice Cream with JUN 25 08 code date are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. The cartons indicate that the product inside is chocolate ice cream while the lid may state that the product is chocolate almond.
Consumers with questions or any doubt at all about product in their possession are encouraged to contact the company at 1-866-WINN-DIXIE or return the product to their store for a refund or exchange.

These products are being recalled due to finding Listeria monocytogenes in three of our twenty nine products during the Company's sampling and in the three swabs in the manufacturing plant.

Although healthy individuals may suffer only short term symptoms such as high fever, sever headache, stiffness, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Further testing in two sample lots confirmed that the 12oz , 30 oz and Bulk tofu did contain Listeria monocytogenes. The company working with the State of California is voluntarily recalling all products produced during the same time period as the sampled product to ensure customer safety.
Consumers who have purchased the recalled products are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 650-553-9900 ext 22.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- HARTFORD, September 24 -- The Department of Consumer Protection has removed a product from three stores where it was sold, following a voluntary recall by the manufacturer and a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warning consumers not to drink or serve the beverage.
The product is Baby's Bliss Gripe Water, apple flavor, with a code of 26952V and expiration date of October 2008 (shown as "10/08" on the label), distributed by MOM Enterprises, Inc., of San Rafael, Calif. The FDA confirmed through laboratory analysis the presence of cryptosporidium after investigating the illness of a 6-week-old infant in Minnesota who consumed the product. Cryptosporidium is a parasite that can cause intestinal infections.
"We have identified three stores in the state that have sold this beverage, and we have made sure that the product has been removed from sale," Consumer Protection Commissioner Jerry Farrell, Jr. said. "Consumers who have this item at home should be sure it is not coded and dated as described in the FDA warning. If it is, please do not use the beverage, but discard it immediately."
The three stores known to have carried Baby's Bliss Gripe Water are:
* Over the Moon, Avon
* Bissell Pharmacy, Ridgefield
* Starlight Baby, Southbury
All of the above stores have been contacted by Consumer Protection and are aware of the recall.
The most common symptom of infection is watery diarrhea. Other symptoms can include dehydration, weight loss, stomach cramps or pain, fever, nausea and vomiting. Symptoms generally begin two to ten days after becoming infected with the parasite and generally last one to two weeks. While most people with healthy immune systems will recover without treatment, the infection could be serious or life-threatening for certain individuals. Infants, children and pregnant women are susceptible to dehydration resulting from diarrhea, which can be life-threatening. Individuals with weakened immune systems are also at risk for a more serious and life-threatening form of illness.
Parents of children who have recently consumed apple flavored Baby's Bliss Gripe Water and have these symptoms should seek immediate medical attention. Parents and caregivers who have given this product to their infants and children should be alert for diarrhea and other signs of Cryptosporidium infection.
The product was sold in a four-ounce plastic bottle packaged inside of a cardboard carton, labeled with the following: Baby's Bliss. Pediatrician Recommended Gripe Water. Apple Flavor.
MOM Enterprises, Inc. is fully cooperating with FDA's investigation into the cause of the contamination and is recalling all potentially contaminated products. FDA continues to investigate and will provide updates as more information becomes available. Consumers can call the FDA at 1-888-723-3366.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Mountain View, CA -- September 12, 2007 -- TWC Global, LLC, 530 Showers Drive, Suite 7-129, Mountain View, CA 94040, announced today that it is conducting a voluntary nationwide recall of the company's supplement products sold under the names of Axcil and Desirin.
TWC Global is conducting this recall after being informed by representatives of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that lab analysis by FDA of Axcil and Desirin samples found the products contain potentially harmful, undeclared ingredients. FDA found the lot of 02B07 contains 3 mg/g of sildenafil, the active ingredient of a FDA-approved drug used for ED, as well as sulfosildenafil and sulfohomosildenafil, both are analogs of sildenafil. All of these undeclared chemicals pose a threat to consumers because they may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels.
Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates. Sexual dysfunction is a common problem in men and women with these conditions, and consumers may seek these types of products to enhance sexual performance.
Both Axcil and Desirin are sold on internet nationwide. The products are sold as a 15-capsule blister pack packaged in a box.
Customers who have these products in their possession should stop using them immediately and contact their physician if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking these products.
Any adverse events that may be related to the use of this product should be reported to the FDA's MedWatch Program by phone at 1-800-FDA-1088 or by fax at 1-800-FDA-0178 or by mail at MedWatch, HF-2, FDA, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20852-9787.
The company advises that any unused portion of the products be returned to TWC Global, LLC immediately for a full purchase price refund. The returning address is: TWC Global, LLC, 530 Showers Drive, Suite 7-129, Mountain View, CA 94040. Please return the unused portion of the product with invoice for refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 650-575-0828.
The Company is taking this voluntary action because it is committed and is always concerned with the health of consumers who have taken these products. The Company is reviewing the raw materials used to make these products and the raw material manufacturers and suppliers to identify the source of contamination to ensure that there will be no future issues with regard to Axcil and Desirin's compositions. The Company is working closely with the FDA in the recall process and is committed to the quality and integrity of its products. It sincerely regrets any inconvenience to consumers.

Cats

(866) 922-9222
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE --Vernon, CT -- Sept. 18, 2007--- Bravo! announces
a voluntary recall of select tubes of three of its poultry products for
cats and dogs. The pet food is being recalled because two of the
products have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella and
Listeria monocytogenes, while the other product has the potential to be
contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
Both Salmonella and Listeria are organisms which can cause serious
infections in dogs and cats, and if there is cross contamination, in
people, especially small children, frail or elderly people, and others
with weakened immune systems. Healthy people with Salmonella infection
may only suffer short-term symptoms, such as high fever, severe
headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Long term
complications can include arthritis and other more serious ailments.
Healthy people with Listeria infection may only suffer 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.
The company has received no reports of illness in either people or
animals associated with any of the three products.
The recalled products are distributed nationwide to distributors, retail
stores, internet sales and directly to consumers, and they can be
identified by the batch ID code located on the hang tag attached to the
bottom of the plastic film tubes. The recalled products should not be
sold or fed to pets. Pet owners should return unopened frozen tubes of
food to the store where purchased for a full refund. Pet owners should
dispose of opened tubes of product in a safe manner (example, a securely
covered trash receptacle) and return the washed plastic batch ID tag to
the store where purchased for a full refund.

sincerely regrets any inconvenience to pet owners as a result of this
announcement. This voluntary recall has been issued because the FDA
detected the bacteria in samples during a recent review.
In an effort to prevent the transmission of Salmonella from pets to
family members and care givers, the FDA recommends that everyone follow
appropriate pet food handling guidelines when feeding their pets. A
list of safe pet food handling tips can be found at:
http://www.fda.gov/cvm/CVM_Updates/foodbornetips.htm.
People may risk Salmonella infection not only by handling these pet
foods, but also by contact with pets or other surfaces exposed to these
foods, so it is important that they thoroughly wash their hands with hot
water and soap. Anyone who is experiencing the symptoms of Salmonella
or Listeria infection after having handled the recalled product should
seek medical attention. Consumers may report any complaints to FDA's
local District Complaint Coordinator's located on the FDA website:
http://www.fda.gov/opacom/backgrounders/complain.html.
Healthy cats and dogs rarely become sick from Salmonella. Animals ill
with Salmonella will display symptoms similar to the ones listed above
for humans. People who have concerns about whether their pet has
Salmonella or not should contact their veterinarian.
