Creative Contract Packaging Recalls HERB-OX Bouillon

Aurora, Ill., March 9, 2010 -- Creative Contract Packaging Corp. has announced that it is recalling HERB-OX Bouillon products because of a possible health risk.

This action is being taken after Basic Food Flavors, Inc. issued a recall for all Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein dry powder manufactured by Basic Food Flavors on or after September 17, 2009, due to a positive test result for Salmonella in a production lot. Records indicate that some of the HVP being recalled by Basic Food Flavors was used as an ingredient in HERB-OX items.

As a result, Creative Contract Packaging Corporation of Aurora, Illinois, is recalling specific code dates of HERB-OX beef, vegetable, and chicken granular bouillon products because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Long-term complications can include severe arthritis.

The UPC number and code date can be found on the package. Anyone needing help finding this information should call 1-877-446-7635.

The following specific code dates of the items listed below are being recalled:
