Please review the
following message from Alan Talarsky, Environmental Scientist 4, Public Health
and Food Protection Program, NJDOH regarding the following Class 1 Recalls
issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration:
************************************************************************************************************
1.Strauss Israel of Israel is voluntarily recalling the
following Elite branded products: Elite Chocolate, Cakes, Wafers, Energy Grain
Snacks, Energy Chocolate Rice Cakes, Chewing Gum and Toffee Candies, including
all product codes currently on the US market. This recall does not pertain to
all Elite coffee items. The recalled products may potentially be contaminated
with Salmonella,
an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young
children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often
experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and
abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can
result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe
illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis
and arthritis.
The
Elite products have been distributed in the kosher market nationally, primarily
in the Tri-State area of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California, and
Florida.
Additionally, products have been sold directly to customers via
Amazon.com, Fresh Direct, Passover.com and all Retailer Online Sites.
A
list of the recalled products appears at the end of this notice. No other
Strauss Israel or Elite products are affected.
The
products are being recalled as they were manufactured in a facility in which Salmonella was
detected in the production line and in the liquid chocolate that is used for
the production of the finished products.
No
illnesses have been reported to date.
Consumers
who have purchased the affected Elite brand products should not consume them
and may return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with
questions may contact Strauss Israel on any one of the following communication
channels:
Facebook: https://he-il.facebook.com/StraussGroup
Website: https://www.strauss-group.co.il
Email: eliterecall@kayco.com
This recall is conducted with knowledge of the Food and Drug
Administration.

2. The TJX Companies, Inc. of Framingham, MA is recalling
certain vegan chocolate products because they may contain undeclared milk.
People who have allergies to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening
allergic reactions if they consume these products. The products being recalled
are:
All product codes for these items are included
in the recall.
The products recalled were distributed at TJX
retail stores nationwide. TJX operates T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Sierra,
and Homesense.
One illness has been reported to date in
connection with the recalled products. The recall was initiated after it was
discovered that the products labelled as “Dairy Free” contained milk.
Subsequent investigation indicated that this was caused by a manufacturing
error at the supplier’s facility. As a result, TJX is recalling all items for
sale in our stores that were manufactured in this facility.
Customers who have purchased any of the
products listed above are urged to return them to the store at which they were
purchased or contact the appropriate customer service department for a full
refund:
Customer service is available Monday through
Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Eastern Time.
