PLEASE READ - Live Active Cereal is being recalled

[PHmom]

The Mixed Berry Crunch flavor is being recalled b/c apparently some nuts accidentally got in which could cause an allergic reaction in those who have nut allergies (potentially very dangerous!).

I returned mine today - you do not need your receipt, just take them back to the HT where you bought them.

I know many of us purchased this cereal last week with the great coupon and deal so I wanted to let everyone know about this recall.

ETA: I know there is a post in the recall forum also but since I know so many HT shoppers got this last week, I thought it was important to have it here too since some of them might not see it in the the other forum

Thanks for the reminder PHMom!

I couldn't find the other post in a search, so in case anyone wants to see all the details here's a link to the recall info: Kraft Foods Issues Allergy Alert On Undeclared Tree Nuts In Post LiveActive Mixed Berry Crunch Cereal

I also wanted to add that it's not all boxes, only those dated Dec 17 08 for the "best when used by" date. I got one dated Jan 09 and it has a clear warning about tree nuts printed under the ingredients list.

Thanks for that info!

TYVM for this vital info! I wouldn't have come across it yesterday otherwise.

so, if you are not allergic to nuts do you need to return it? I love it,

Probably not, just as long as no one in your hh is allergic. There's nothing wrong with it otherwise AFAIK. I do know they've pulled it off the shelves completely at HT - even the ones with a different date, I guess they believe in being super-careful (which is a good thing). But you won't be able to get any more right now.

They had a little problem even doing a return for me b/c they have taken the product out of their system, the UPC wasn't even able to be scanned by the register!
