Certain Flavors of Mega Pops Recalled

Washington, DC: Colombina S.A. is recalling specific lots of Colombina Brand Mega Pops in 14-ounce and 28-ounce cellophane bags containing watermelon, cherry, orange and grape flavored pops. Affected Mega Pops can be identified by UPC Code numbers 0 14272 10873 9 or 0 14272 10862 3, and are in lots marked as Lot #1240695, Lot #1209708, or Lot #1209796. The lot number appears in a white square on the lower left hand side of the reverse of each bag. The voluntary recall of these lots is part of Colombina's diligent product review.

Customers who return the product to the store where they purchased the product may receive a refund or store credit for the purchase price of the product. The offer applies to all bags of Mega Pops about which customers may have a concern, regardless of lot number.

Colombina is coordinating efforts with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as well as with U.S. retailers, and will continue to do so until the matter has been resolved. Colombina Mega Pops are distributed nationwide through several different retailers and wholesalers.

Until the situation is resolved to the satisfaction of all parties involved, Mega Pops will be temporarily unavailable in the U.S., as Colombina has asked retailers to remove the product voluntarily as a precaution.
