Contact:
Quong Hop & Co
650-553-9900
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- San Francisco, Calif. -- Sept. 19, 2007 --- Quong Hop & Co. of South San Francisco, California is recalling all SOY DELI brand tofu with code date DEC 17 2007 and certain varieties of SOY DELI and QUONG HOP brand tofu with code date SEP 23 2007.
The recall includes the following products in the following sizes and code dates:
All varieties and sizes of SOY DELI TOFU coded DEC 17 2007
30 OZ SOY DELI NIGARI TOFU coded SEP 23 2007
12 OZ SOY DELI WATER PACK TOFU coded SEP 23 2007
16 OZ QUONG HOP WATER PACK TOFU coded SEP 23 2007
These products are being recalled because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short term symptoms such as high fever, sever headache, stiffness, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection in severe cases can cause miscarriages and still births among pregnant women. Consumers experiencing any of these symptoms should seek immediate medical attention.
The recalled “SOY DELI” and “QUONG HOP” brand products are distributed in the Midwest and West coast throughout supermarkets and natural food stores.
The date code can be found on the front panel of all the aforementioned products printed in blue ink.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.
The potential for contamination was noted after a routine test by Washington State Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety Program revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in a 12 OZ vacuum pack package of “SOY DELI FIRM ORGANIC NIGARI TOFU”. The company is voluntarily recalling all products produced during the same time period as the sampled product to ensure customer safety.
Consumers who have purchased the recalled products are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 650-553-9900.

TWC Global LLC, Inc. Issues a Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Axcil and Desirin Products Marketed as Dietary Supplements Contact: TWC Global, LLC service@axcil.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Mountain View, CA -- September 12, 2007 -- TWC Global, LLC, 530 Showers Drive, Suite 7-129, Mountain View, CA 94040, announced today that it is conducting a voluntary nationwide recall of the company's supplement products sold under the names of Axcil and Desirin. TWC Global is conducting this recall after being informed by representatives of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that lab analysis by FDA of Axcil and Desirin samples found the products contain potentially harmful, undeclared ingredients. FDA found the lot of 02B07 contains 3 mg/g of sildenafil, the active ingredient of a FDA-approved drug used for ED, as well as sulfosildenafil and sulfohomosildenafil, both are analogs of sildenafil. All of these undeclared chemicals pose a threat to consumers because they may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates. Sexual dysfunction is a common problem in men and women with these conditions, and consumers may seek these types of products to enhance sexual performance. Both Axcil and Desirin are sold on internet nationwide. The products are sold as a 15-capsule blister pack packaged in a box. Customers who have these products in their possession should stop using them immediately and contact their physician if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking these products. Any adverse events that may be related to the use of this product should be reported to the FDA's MedWatch Program by phone at 1-800-FDA-1088 or by fax at 1-800-FDA-0178 or by mail at MedWatch, HF-2, FDA, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20852-9787. The company advises that any unused portion of the products be returned to TWC Global, LLC immediately for a full purchase price refund. The returning address is: TWC Global, LLC, 530 Showers Drive, Suite 7-129, Mountain View, CA 94040. Please return the unused portion of the product with invoice for refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 650-575-0828. The Company is taking this voluntary action because it is committed and is always concerned with the health of consumers who have taken these products. The Company is reviewing the raw materials used to make these products and the raw material manufacturers and suppliers to identify the source of contamination to ensure that there will be no future issues with regard to Axcil and Desirin’s compositions. The Company is working closely with the FDA in the recall process and is committed to the quality and integrity of its products. It sincerely regrets any inconvenience to consumers.

Department of Consumer Protection Removes Baby’s Bliss Gripe Water From Connecticut Stores Following Voluntary Recall
Contact:
Department of Consumer Protection
860-713-6050
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- HARTFORD, September 24 -- The Department of Consumer Protection has removed a product from three stores where it was sold, following a voluntary recall by the manufacturer and a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warning consumers not to drink or serve the beverage.
The product is Baby's Bliss Gripe Water, apple flavor, with a code of 26952V and expiration date of October 2008 (shown as "10/08" on the label), distributed by MOM Enterprises, Inc., of San Rafael, Calif. The FDA confirmed through laboratory analysis the presence of cryptosporidium after investigating the illness of a 6-week-old infant in Minnesota who consumed the product. Cryptosporidium is a parasite that can cause intestinal infections.
"We have identified three stores in the state that have sold this beverage, and we have made sure that the product has been removed from sale," Consumer Protection Commissioner Jerry Farrell, Jr. said. "Consumers who have this item at home should be sure it is not coded and dated as described in the FDA warning. If it is, please do not use the beverage, but discard it immediately."
The three stores known to have carried Baby's Bliss Gripe Water are:
Over the Moon, Avon
Bissell Pharmacy, Ridgefield
Starlight Baby, Southbury
All of the above stores have been contacted by Consumer Protection and are aware of the recall.
The most common symptom of infection is watery diarrhea. Other symptoms can include dehydration, weight loss, stomach cramps or pain, fever, nausea and vomiting. Symptoms generally begin two to ten days after becoming infected with the parasite and generally last one to two weeks. While most people with healthy immune systems will recover without treatment, the infection could be serious or life-threatening for certain individuals. Infants, children and pregnant women are susceptible to dehydration resulting from diarrhea, which can be life-threatening. Individuals with weakened immune systems are also at risk for a more serious and life-threatening form of illness.
Parents of children who have recently consumed apple flavored Baby's Bliss Gripe Water and have these symptoms should seek immediate medical attention. Parents and caregivers who have given this product to their infants and children should be alert for diarrhea and other signs of Cryptosporidium infection.
The product was sold in a four-ounce plastic bottle packaged inside of a cardboard carton, labeled with the following: Baby's Bliss. Pediatrician Recommended Gripe Water. Apple Flavor.
MOM Enterprises, Inc. is fully cooperating with FDA's investigation into the cause of the contamination and is recalling all potentially contaminated products. FDA continues to investigate and will provide updates as more information becomes available. Consumers can call the FDA at 1-888-723-3366.

I'm searching through all the grocery store dumpsters for recalled chocolate, specifically for Her Highness. Maybe she'll break out in a rash or something.  |

E. coli warning Prompts Massive Frozen Pizza Recall
414,000 Cases Affected
Health Risk: High
Public health officials are urging consumers to throw away any Totino's or Jeno's brand frozen pizzas that contain pepperoni in the wake of a multi-state outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 infections.
"We took action on that basis as a precaution, because of the possibility that a link might exist," said General Mills spokesman Tom Forsythe.
The company is asking people to throw away any pizza that they may have purchased that is being recalled.
The manufacturer, General Mills, has recalled all frozen pepperoni pizzas produced at their Wellston, Ohio, plant. More than 120 million of these pizzas have been distributed since the beginning of July.
Public health investigators in Tennessee and elsewhere have linked a growing number of people infected with E. coli O157:H7 to pizzas produced at the Ohio plant. The investigation is ongoing, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other agencies are working with General Mills to identify the source of the problem.
To date, at least 21 lab-confirmed cases have been identified in 10 states -- Tennessee, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, Wisconsin and South Dakota. At least 10 people have been hospitalized, but no deaths have been reported.
"If you have any of these pizzas in your freezer, we recommend you throw them out," said William E. Keene, Ph.D., M.P.H., senior communicable disease epidemiologist at the Oregon Department of Human Services Public Health Division. "No cases have been reported in Oregon or other Western states, but this is a national recall. We don't want anyone to risk serious illness."
The specific products covered by the recall are as follows:
*Totino's Original Crisp Crust Party Pizza, Pepperoni, 10.2 oz.
*Totino's Original Crisp Crust Party Pizza, Classic Pepperoni, 10.2 oz.
*Totino's Original Crisp Crust Party Pizza, Pepperoni Trio, 10.2 oz.
*Totino's Original Crisp Crust Party Pizza, Three Meat Sausage, Canadian Style Bacon & Pepperoni, 10.5 oz.
*Totino's Original Crisp Crust Party Pizza, Combination Sausage & Pepperoni, 10.7 oz.
*Totino's Original Crisp Crust Party Pizza, Supreme Sausage & Pepperoni with Green Peppers & Onions, 10.9 oz.
*Jeno's Crisp 'n Tasty Pizza, Pepperoni, 6.8 oz.
*Jeno's Crisp 'n Tasty Pizza, Combination Sausage and Pepperoni, 7.0 oz.
*Jeno's Crisp 'n Tasty Pizza, Supreme Sausage and Pepperoni With Green Peppers and Onion, 7.2 oz.
Any consumers concerned about an illness should contact a physician. Anyone diagnosed by a physician as having an illness related to E. coli O157:H7 is also urged to contact state and local public health authorities.
Consumers can contact Totino's / Jeno's for product replacement by clipping the UPC (bar code) symbol from each pizza box and sending their UPC's, along with their name and address to:
Totino's / Jeno's
P.O. Box 200 - Pizza
Minneapolis, MN 55440-0200
The product itself should be thrown away. Consumers with additional questions about the relall should contact the company at (800) 949-9055
About E. Coli
E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea and dehydration. The very young, seniors and persons with compromised immune systems are the most susceptible to foodborne illness.
