Popcorn Palace Issues Allergy Alert on 1-Gallon Value Bag Products


To our valued Fundraising Customers:

This recall applies to all 12 popcorn flavors available in the 1-gallon Value Bag.

We have been distributing these products with a round label that identifies the flavor of the popcorn (e.g., “Cheddar Cheese,” “Rainbow,” “Caramel Nut,” etc.), our name “POPCORN PALACE,” and our web address “www.popcornpalace.com” on each bag. Along with this we have been supplying an information sheet containing the nutrition information, ingredient information, and allergen information for all of our popcorn products.

We have recently been advised by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that consumers could receive the product without the information sheet or the information sheet could be separated from the product and not be available to provide critical allergen information to those persons that are allergic to ingredients in these products. We had not considered this possibility and we agree with FDA’s position. While, for most people these ingredients are perfectly safe and healthy, for persons who are allergic to these ingredients, not knowing that they are present could result in a life threatening allergic reaction if they consumed them.

Therefore we request that you immediately stop distribution of all flavors in the 1-gallon Value Bag size, mark them “RECALLED – Not For Distribution,” and place them in quarantine.

Take an inventory of what you have remaining in stock and fill out the attached spreadsheet and return via email to mailto:info@popcornapalace.com?subject=Food%20Recall%20Inquiry or fax to 847.801.5325. Once we receive your inventory counts we will overnight labels for you to apply to the back of the value bags. The labels will contain the flavor name, product ingredients and critical allergen information.

If you have any questions you may contact Customer Service by telephone at 800-873-2676 or by email at mailto:info@popcornapalace.com?subject=Food%20Recall%20Inquiry.

Sincerely,
Timothy J Heitmann
President
