Nestlé USA announced the voluntary recall of limited quantities of Nestlé NESQUIK® Chocolate Powder in the 10.9, 21.8 and 40.7 ounce canisters. The voluntary recall is limited to only NESQUIK Chocolate Powder, which was distributed nationally. No other varieties of NESQUIK powder or any sizes or flavors of NESQUIK ready-to-drink are affected by this recall.

Nestlé is removing the canisters from distribution because the company was notified by an ingredient supplier, Omya Inc. that it has issued a recall of certain lots of its ingredient, calcium carbonate due to possible presence of Salmonella. Calcium carbonate is used in NESQUIK as an ingredient. There have been no reports of any illnesses or adverse health effects associated with the affected product.

To ensure the safety of consumers, Nestlé is recalling selected NESQUIK Chocolate Powder. The recall is limited to the following sizes, UPC and production codes of NESQUIK Chocolate Powder:

Size	UPC Code	Production Codes
40.7 oz. Chocolate (72 servings)	0 28000 68230 9	2282574810 2282574820
21.8 oz. Chocolate (38 servings)	0 28000 68090 9	2278574810 2278574820 2279574810 2279574820 2284574820 2284574830 2285574810 2285574820 2287574820 2289574810 2289574820
10.9 oz. Chocolate (19 servings)	0 28000 67990 3	2278574810

The affected NESQUIK Chocolate Powder was produced during early October, 2012. To locate the production code, consumers should look on the bottom of the canister, adjacent to the consumer expiration date. All affected products have an expiration date of BEST BEFORE Oct 2014.

Consumers who may have purchased the affected NESQUIK Chocolate Powder should not consume it, but instead should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Nestlé Consumer Services at (800) 628-7679.

The most common symptoms of Salmonella infection are diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever, which develop within eight to 72 hours of eating or drinking contaminated food. The illness usually lasts for four to seven days and most people recover without treatment. However, salmonellosis can be severe or even life threatening for infants, older people, pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems. Individuals experiencing these symptoms should seek medical attention.

Nestlé is dedicated to the health and safety of its consumers. For these reasons, the company initiated this voluntary recall. We apologize to our consumers and sincerely regret any inconvenience created by this incident.

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) advised Minnesotans against eating cantaloupes distributed from southwestern Indiana because a farm in southwestern Indiana initiated a voluntary market withdrawal and stopped cantaloupe distribution following notification that cantaloupes grown on the farm tested positive for the same type of Salmonella that caused illness in Minnesota (three individuals) and several other states. None of the cases were hospitalized and all have recovered.

Coborn’s is not affected by this recall. The cantaloupe sold at Coborn’s originate from farms in California and South Dakota.

Coborn’s is recalling prepared salads that contain chopped/diced white onions as an ingredient because the onions have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals may only suffer from short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. 

The affected products were sold at all Coborn’s locations in the Deli. They may have also been sold in the Dairy department. The affected products are listed below.

The onions are a product of Gill Onions, LLC, which issued a voluntary recall of the onions July 25, and were supplied to Garden Fresh Foods, which manufacturers the affected salads for Coborn’s, Inc.

No illnesses have been linked to this recall. Customers with these products in their possession should discard them or return them to the store for a full refund. 

For more information, please visit www.fda.gov  or Gills Onions at 1-888-220-0436 Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., PDT.
