US: International Bazaar recalls hazelnut spread
By: just-food.com | 22 October 2009
Ohio-based International Bazaar has voluntarily recalled a batch of its Kroger Hazelnut Spread due to possible contamination with peanuts.
Nutkao, the company's packager, received a complaint from two consumers in France that had an allergic reaction after consuming product from the same batch that was distributed under a different label.
The product has a March 2011 sell by date, is packaged in a plastic jar, contains 13 ounces of product and has the UPC code 11110-87825.
Around 65 cases were distributed to Kroger stores in 16 states (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia).
Testing revealed the product was found to contain trace amounts of peanuts. The company said it has not received any reports of illness or allergic reactions caused by consuming the spread and has issued this recall as a precautionary measure.
Consumers who have purchased the product are being urged to return it to any Kroger store for a refund.

Quote, unquote: just-food’s week in words
With spring in the air, food makers in Europe and the US seemed in buoyant mood this week. Finland's Fazer Group claimed "more confidence" in 2010 and Switzerland's Orior insisted that the improved economic environment meant that the time is "right" to launch an IPO. In the US, Kroger and ConAgra Foods both suggested that the competitive environment and pressure on pricing was easing.
