FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - September 5, 2014 - Plum Organics is voluntarily recalling its Little Crmes organic rice milk snacks line after it was found that the product has the potential to cause choking. The small, bite-sized snack pieces are made to soften in a childs mouth in less than 20 seconds making them easy to swallow. Some pieces were found to take significantly longer than this, creating a potential choking hazard, particularly for babies and very young children.
The recall affects all Little Crmes varieties:
- Super Purples (acai, blackberry purple carrot),
- Super Reds (pomegranate, beet berry), and
- Super Greens (kale, apple sweet potato).
