HERSHEY CANADA RECALLS SELECT PRODUCTS

Hershey Canada, in cooperation with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, today announced a voluntary recall of a limited number of products produced at its Smiths Falls plant between the dates of October 15 and November 10, 2006. The recall of these items, listed below, is being conducted due to the potential of Salmonella contamination associated with an externally sourced ingredient.

No Halloween or Christmas items are included in the recall.

“Product quality and safety are top priorities at Hershey,” said Eric Lent, General Manager, Canada. “We are working in close cooperation with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to quickly retrieve the product in question from our customers and to ensure that consumers who may have purchased this product are aware of the potential health concern.”
