Heinz recalls baby food over choking scare
Filed under: Baby public health — Alan @ 5:55 am
Heinz has been forced to recall thousands of baby food pots after it was discovered that they have been contaminated with small pieces of plastic within the food.
The Fruity Custard Fruit Medley is the flavour of baby food affected in the recall and has been called a choking hazard for babies.
The recall was prompted after four parents called Heinz to say they had found plastic inside the baby food jars. The company immediately posted a warning about the baby food and stores that sell the product will also receive posters alerting parents of the danger.
Each notice informs consumers that they should not feed their children the product and can call the Heinz careline to receive a refund.
Heinz for the moment must deal with the fallout of such an enormous mistake given that the baby food should be subject to a high level of safety tastes before released to the shelves.
According to the company’s website, Heinz has taken the measure of recalling all pots that were manufactured in batch 9307 of Heinz Fruity Custard in the four pot packs due to the presence of plastic in the baby jars. The company also apologized to customers and offered a refund by calling 09000 151557 from the UK.
Only the Fruity Custard Fruit Medley baby food in four packs with a best before date of November 3, 2010 and batch number 9307 on the label are affected by the recall.
