Guess that multiple use beverage equipment may NOT be such a great idea.

White Wave Announced a National Voluntary Recall

 

April 16, 2003

 

Boulder, Colorado–- White Wave announced today that it is voluntarily recalling

some of its 64 ounce/half gallon blue, gable top cartons of Vanilla Silk brand

soymilk. The code dates involved in the voluntary recall read-– Jun 17 03 H

CD70, Jun 17 03 J CD-70, Jun 18 03 H-CD70 and Jun 18 03 J CD-70. The product can

be identified by these code dates stamped on the top of each carton. No other

Vanilla Silk, Silk or White Wave products are involved in the recall. The

containers were distributed throughout the United States.

 

The voluntary recall was issued after it was discovered that some of the product

may contain a caustic, sodium hydroxide based material used to clean and

sanitize manufacturing equipment. White Wave has contacted its distributors and

stores and ordered the product removed from store shelves. Consumers should

return any product in their possession to the place of purchase for a refund.

 

The contaminant impacts the taste and smell of the product so most consumers are

not likely to drink it. Two incidents of illness have been reported. Consumers

who have consumed the product and experience burning, nausea or other symptoms

should contact a health care provider.

 

" Our company has always been committed to the health and safety of our

customers. We have taken immediate steps to isolate and correct this problem, "

said Steve Demos, president of White Wave.
