Wegmans Sorbet is being recalled due to undeclared Milk!

Jul 31, 2008 Food Recalls

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — July 31, 2008 — The manufacturer of Wegmans Sorbet is recalling a limited number of 16 oz. Wegmans brand Sorbets because they may contain undeclared milk. People who have an allergy to milk run the risk of a serious or possible life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the affected products listed below.

The products were distributed throughout Wegmans Food Markets located in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, and Maryland.

The sorbets are packaged in 16 oz. paperboard containers and sold in the supermarkets’ ice cream section. All four sorbet flavors: Lemon, Raspberry, Green Apple, and Pink Grapefruit, are affected by this recall. The affected products contain the following “BEST USED BY” date codes on the bottom of the container:

A review of records discovered that product containing milk was packaged in cartons that were not labeled for the presence of milk. Subsequent investigation indicates the cross contamination was caused by a breakdown in the company’s production process, which has been corrected.

Consumers who have purchased Wegmans Sorbet with the affected code dates and flavors may return it to Wegmans for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the manufacturer at 1-800-873-7797 between the hours of 9:00am -5:00pm Monday thru Friday EST.

Got Breast Milk? Can you tell the difference between the milk containers?

Jul 31, 2008 Call to Action

Amanda, WAHM creator of the chich nursing covers over at For Your Peanut sent me an email regarding the California Milk Board and Breast Milk. It seems the Board is in an uproar over a T-Shirt created by a Mom. The Lactivist Blog has reported that the t-shirts and onesies read “Got Breast Milk?” and the California Milk Board is now claiming trademark issues & infringement.

Federal law says trademark infringement happens when confusion is likely caused by use of a word or phrase.

The phrases ‘got breastmilk’ and ‘got milk?’ are similar except for the addition of the word ‘breast,’” the lawyers wrote. “This difference is not enough to eliminate the likelihood that consumers will be confused about the origin of the products.

Read the story in the Anchorage Daily News

AsThe Lactivist Blog recommends – Go ahead and get in touch with the California Milk Processor Board.

The board’s phone number is (949)481-6620. Their fax number is (949)481-6680.
As with the last time, here’s my request. Spread the word. Pass it on. Let’s let the California Milk Processor Board know that we’re all fully aware of the difference between jugs containing breast milk and jugs containing cow’s milk.
