3 products added to Hershey's salmonella advisory

Canada's food watchdog has expanded an earlier advisory concerning Hershey's chocolate products possibly contaminated with salmonella to include three more items.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said Wednesday the updated advisory now applies to the following items:


  • Reese Honey Roasted Peanut Butter Cups, 51 grams.
  • Oh Henry! Rocky Road bar, 60 grams.
  • Pot of Gold All Nut Collection, 245 grams.

The three products were not included in the original Nov. 12, 2006 recall because they hadn't been distributed to stores.

The products, marked with codes ranging from 6417 to 6455 inclusive, may be for sale in Ontario at flea markets. Liquidators and independent and private retailers in the province may also be selling the withdrawn products. Authorities have recovered some recalled Hershey's chocolate products in the Lindsay and Hamilton regions.

Earlier this month, Toronto police arrested two men in possession of eight pallets of Hershey's chocolate products that had been recalled in November. Authorities allege the chocolate was stolen from a recycling depot.

The products had been sent to the facility for disposal after Hershey's Canada recalled its chocolate for possible salmonella contamination.

Food tainted with salmonella may not look or smell spoiled, but the bacteria can cause symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

No associated illnesses have been reported.
