FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - November 8, 2012 - Nestlé USA announced the voluntary recall of limited quantities of Nestlé NESQUIK® Chocolate Powder in the 10.9, 21.8 and 40.7 ounce canisters. The voluntary recall is limited to only NESQUIK Chocolate Powder, which was distributed nationally. No other varieties of NESQUIK powder or any sizes or flavors of NESQUIK ready-to-drink are affected by this recall.
Nestlé is removing the canisters from distribution because the company was notified by an ingredient supplier, Omya Inc. that it has issued a recall of certain lots of its ingredient, calcium carbonate due to possible presence of Salmonella. Calcium carbonate is used in NESQUIK as an ingredient. There have been no reports of any illnesses or adverse health effects associated with the affected product.
To ensure the safety of consumers, Nestlé is recalling selected NESQUIK Chocolate Powder. The recall is limited to the following sizes, UPC and production codes of NESQUIK Chocolate Powder:
| Size | UPC Code | Production Codes |
|---|---|---|
| 40.7 oz. Chocolate (72 servings) | 0 28000 68230 9 |
2282574810 2282574820 |
| 21.8 oz. Chocolate (38 servings) | 0 28000 68090 9 |

| 10.9 oz. Chocolate (19 servings) | 0 28000 67990 3 | 2278574810 |
The affected NESQUIK Chocolate Powder was produced during early October, 2012. To locate the production code, consumers should look on the bottom of the canister, adjacent to the consumer expiration date. All affected products have an expiration date of BEST BEFORE Oct 2014.
Consumers who may have purchased the affected NESQUIK Chocolate Powder should not consume it, but instead should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Nestlé Consumer Services at (800) 628-7679.
The most common symptoms of Salmonella infection are diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever, which develop within eight to 72 hours of eating or drinking contaminated food. The illness usually lasts for four to seven days and most people recover without treatment. However, salmonellosis can be severe or even life threatening for infants, older people, pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems. Individuals experiencing these symptoms should seek medical attention.
Nestlé is dedicated to the health and safety of its consumers. For these reasons, the company initiated this voluntary recall. We apologize to our consumers and sincerely regret any inconvenience created by this incident.

FDA Drug Safety Podcast: Serious adverse events from accidental ingestion by children of over-the-counter eye drops and nasal sprays
1
Narrator: Welcome to the FDA Drug
Safety Podcast from the Division of Drug Information.
Today’s topic: Serious adverse events from accidental
ingestion by children of over-the-counter eye drops and
nasal sprays
Joan Powers, a Consumer Safety Officer in the Division, will provide you with additional information about this Communication.
Guest Speaker: On October 25, 2012, the FDA is warning the public that accidental ingestion (swallowing) by children of non-prescription, over-the-counter eye drops used to relieve redness and nasal decongestant sprays can result in serious harm. The eye drops and nasal sprays that have been involved in the cases of accidental ingestion contain the active ingredients tetrahydrozoline, oxymetazoline, or naphazoline. These products are sold under various brand names, as generics, and as store brands.
The cases of accidental ingestion reviewed by FDA occurred in children 5 years of age and younger. No deaths were reported; but serious events requiring hospitalization-such as coma, decreased heart rate, decreased breathing, and sedation have occurred. Ingestion of only a small amount of 1-2 mL (for reference, there are 5 mL in a teaspoon) of the eye drops or nasal spray can lead to serious adverse events in young children. Most of these redness-relief eye drops and nasal decongestant sprays currently do not come packaged with child-resistant closures, so children can accidentally ingest the drug if the bottles are within easy reach.
Consumers should store these products out of reach of children at all times. If a child accidentally swallows these eye drops or nasal decongestant spray, call the toll-free Poison Help line (1-800-222-1222) and seek emergency medical care immediately.
To protect young children from ingesting these products,
earlier this year the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC) published a proposed rule requiring
child-resistant packaging for redness-relief eye drops and
nasal decongestant sprays.
*The proposed rule also covers products that contain
xylometazoline, but products containing xylometazoline are
not currently marketed.
At this time FDA recommends that Healthcare Professionals be aware of the following:
- Cases of accidental ingestion of over-the-counter redness-relief eye drops or nasal decongestant sprays containing the active ingredients tetrahydrozoline, oxymetazoline, or naphazoline have resulted in serious adverse events in young children 5 years of age and younger.
- Parents and caregivers should be advised to call the toll-free Poison Help line (1-800-222-1222) and to seek emergency medical care immediately if their child accidentally swallows these eye drops or nasal decongestant sprays.
- Consumers should be advised to store these products out of reach of children at all times.
- Adverse events involving these eye drops or nasal decongestant sprays should be reported to the FDA MedWatch program at www.fda.gov/medwatch2.
Narrator: Thank you for listening. The FDA is committed to keeping healthcare professionals informed of the latest safety information.

FDA NOTICE
Public Notification: Best Share Green Coffee: Brazilian Slimming Coffee Contains Hidden Drug Ingredient
[11-8-2012] The Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) is
advising consumers not to purchase or
use Best Share Green Coffee: Brazilian
Slimming Coffee, a product promoted and
sold for weight loss on various
websites, including
www.houseofmonet.com1
and possibly in some retail stores.
FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Best Share Green Coffee: Brazilian Slimming Coffee contains sibutramine. Sibutramine is a controlled substance that was removed from the market in October 2010 for safety reasons. The product poses a threat to consumers because sibutramine is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant risk for patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, or stroke. This product may also interact, in life-threatening ways, with other medications a consumer may be taking.
Consumers should stop using this product immediately and throw it away. Consumers who have experienced any negative side effects should consult a health care professional as soon as possible.
Health care professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of these products to FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program:
- Complete and submit the report Online: www.fda.gov/MedWatch/report.htm2
- Download form3 or call 1-800-332-1088 to request a reporting form, then complete and return to the address on the pre-addressed form, or submit by fax to 1-800-FDA-0178
Note: This notification is to inform the public of a growing trend of products marketed as dietary supplements or conventional foods with hidden drugs and chemicals. These products are typically promoted for sexual enhancement, weight loss, and body building and are often represented as being “all natural.” FDA is unable to test and identify all products marketed as dietary supplements on the market that have potentially harmful hidden ingredients. Consumers should exercise caution before purchasing any product in the above categories.
