General Mills Recalls Granola Thins Over Labeling Snafu

WASHINGTONGeneral Mills announced a recall of a single day's production of Nature Valley Dark Chocolate Flavor Granola Thins because they may contain some individually-wrapped Nature Valley Peanut Butter Flavor Granola Thins, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced Sept. 23.

A production error resulted in a limited number of properly-labeled, individually-wrapped Nature Valley Peanut Butter Flavor Granola Thins packages being inserted into 10-count boxes labeled as Nature Valley Dark Chocolate Flavor Granola Thins. The recall includes only 10-count boxes of Nature Valley Dark Chocolate Flavor Granola Thins with one Better if Used By date of 05JUN2011 YO 12 printed on the top of the box:

Individually labeled foil packages of Nature Valley Peanut Butter Flavor Granola Thins are visibly different from the Nature Valley Dark Chocolate Flavor Granola Thins product depicted on the incorrect box. Rather than containing Nature Valley Dark Chocolate Flavor Granola Thins, the box could contain Nature Valley Peanut Butter Flavor Granola Thins.
