Strong America Limited Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Peanuts in Cookie Wafers
Brooklyn, NY - June 12, 2002 -- Strong America Ltd of 1177 Flushing Ave, Brooklyn,
NY 11237 is recalling its packages
of "Huashengsu" cookie wafers because they may contain undeclared
peanuts. People who have allergies to peanuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening
allergic reaction if they consume these products.
The recalled cookie wafers were distributed in the New York City area in retail
stores. The product comes in a clear plastic bag with code 2001.11.03. All other
labeling is in Chinese.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered through routine sampling by
the N.Y.S Dept of Agriculture and Markets food inspectors that the peanut-containing
product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of peanuts.
Consumers who have purchased packages of cookie wafers are urged to return
them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may
contact the company at 718-628-6200.
