FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Minneapolis, MN -- December 19, 2003 -- General Mills is recalling a limited number of its 21.2 ounce packages of Betty Crocker Triple Chunk Brownie Mix because they may contain undeclared pecans. While not a problem for most consumers, the potential presence of the nut is a concern for consumers who are allergic to pecans. People who have allergies to pecans are at risk for a severe allergic reaction if pecans are consumed.
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 1-800-446-1898.
