Subject: FAAN Product-Related Member Calls, August 26-30, 2002


As always, everyone who calls FAAN about a product is instructed to call 
the manufacturer if they haven't already done so.

Krispy Kreme Glazed Devil's Food Doughnuts - (privacy) 
called to tell us she purchased a box of these doughnuts.  There were no 
egg ingredients listed on the label but she called the manufacturer because 
it listed natural and artificial flavors.  They told her the product 
contains egg yolk.

Duncan Hines Bakery Style Muffins, Wild Maine Blueberry - (privacy)  called to tell us her 11-year-old son, allergic to milk, 
egg, tree nuts, banana, fish, and shellfish, had a reaction.  None of these 
ingredients are listed on the package.  She made the muffins using soy milk 
and egg replacer.  He ate one muffin and was okay, then ate a second muffin 
an hour and a half later.  Immediately after the second muffin he had 
diarrhea and rapid heartbeat.  She gave him Benadryl and albuterol and 
stood by with the EpiPen but did not use it.  When she reported the 
reaction to Duncan Hines she was told the mix is made on the same line as 
products containing nuts.  She has frozen the remaining muffins.

Ritz Crackers - this e-mail is from (privacy):
I purchased a box of original Nabisco Ritz Crackers approximately a month 
ago at Better Val-U Supermarket in Lisbon, CT.  I opened them today to give 
them to my son's and it was the new Cheese Ritz Crackers in the box instead 
of the Original Ritz Crackers!  So, the wrong crackers got put in the wrong 
box.
