Nestle Banana Baby Food Recall Warning

Outline
Circulating message warns that Nestle (or Gerber) is recalling all banana baby food with 2012 expiry dates because jars may contain pieces of glass.


Brief Analysis
The warning is derived from a genuine recall, but, in its current form, it is misleading and inaccurate. It is true that Nestle France has voluntarily recalled a specific batch of "P'tit Pot" banana baby food as a precaution due to possible broken glass contamination. However, the problem is confined to one batch and affects a product that is sold only in France. A second, even more inaccurate, incarnation of the message changes the company name from Nestle to Gerber. Gerber is a US based subsidiary of Nestle, but has no connection whatsoever to this Nestle France recall.
