ConAgra Recalls Unsalted Stick Margarine

Downers Grove, Ill (SafetyAlerts) - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said

that ConAgra Dairy Foods is recalling less than 3,000 pounds of Fleischmann's

Unsalted Stick Margarine because the product may contain an undeclared dairy

ingredient. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to dairy products

may run the risk of serious or life threatening allergic reaction if they

consume this product.

This is the first public notice of this Class I recall issued by the FDA.

Affected product was distributed through retail stores in the following states:

land Mississippi Vermont Michigan

Virginia Pennsylvania Maine

Alabama Massachusetts New Hampshire

Ohio Kentucky New Jersey

Connecticut Tennessee Rhode Island

New York Georgia West Virginia

This Fleischmann's Unsalted Stick Margarine can be identified with the " best if

used by " date on the carton of JAN 31 02 O N. Two allergic reactions have been

reported. Other than to dairy sensitive consumers or to consumers on a sodium

free diet, the product being recalled is safe for consumption.

The product may actually be Fleischmann's Original Stick Margarine that contains

whey, a dairy protein. The product can be easily identified by the inner wrap on

the individual sticks that reads, " Fleischmann's Original Margarine, " instead of

Unsalted.

This product is being recalled in cooperation with the Food and Drug

Administration (FDA). ConAgra Dairy Foods is concerned about the health of its

consumers; therefore, we encourage those individuals who are allergic to dairy

products to return the above-coded unsalted stick margarine to the store where

purchased for a full refund. For further information, call toll-free at
