Kraft Canada Recalls Tartar Sauce

By Dan Flynn and Suzanna Schreck

The wrong label--one not disclosing that egg is an ingredient--has brought a warning from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Kraft Canada for people to not eat certain Kraft Tartar Sauce.

The suspect item is a 355 ml size with a Uniform Product Code of 0 683071 0 and Best Before Dates of 10 OC 02 and 10 OC 08.

The Kraft Tartar Sauce was distributed in Canada.

No illnesses have been associated with the product.

Consumption of these products may cause a serious or life-threatening reaction in persons with allergies to egg.

Because of the mislabeling, Kraft Canada based in Toronto, Ontario is voluntarily recalling the affected products from the marketplace.

CFIA is monitoring the effectiveness of the recall.

For more information, consumers and industry can call one of the following numbers:  Kraft Canada Consumer Relations at 1-800-396-5512.  CFIA at 1-800-442-2342.
