Recalls to Start off February 2013

Sisters and Brothers another chocolate product has been recalled and so as part of my duty to you all I bring you news of them U.S.A.'s FDA.  Remember that while recalls are only for the USA usually if you use these products elsewhere you might want to look into them and see if your own nations have similar recalls in effect.

On the news last night, they announced this recall has been cancelled.
Did they?

It was in the announcement this morning and they still have it on the company's website.

Thank you for that, mavido79.

Everyone should look into it.
