Gerber Recalling Banana Baby Food Owing to the Discovery of Pieces of Glass in Some
Products-
Fiction!
Summary of the eRumor: This is a forwarded warning
that says Nestlé/Gerber is recalling banana baby food because pieces of
glass were found in some products. Readers are advised to return
products expiring in 2012.
The Truth: This is fiction according
to an official statement found on the
Gerber website.
The Gerber statement said, "There have been some inaccurate reports of a Gerber
recall. There is NO RECALL in effect for any Gerber products sold in the
US. All Gerber products are safe to consume. While, as a precautionary
measure, there was a voluntary limited product recall for Nestlé P’tit
Pot Recette Banana baby food in France last week, there is no recall in
effect for any Gerber products sold in the US."
The Fremont, Michigan
based Gerber is a subsidiary of Nestlé Group.
