Press Releases

EMERYVILLE, Calif., Feb. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Nest Collective™ announced today that it is voluntarily recalling 815 cases of its Jammy Sammy™ - Strawberry Jam & Peanut Butter Flavor Snack Size Sandwich Bars due to a mislabeled inner wrapper. The cartons contain the best by date June 28, 2012 and are marked with the following universal product code (UPC) #89676600116 6 located on the bottom of the package. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts (or peanut butter) run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these individual bars.

These cartons are sold online and at retail stores nationwide.

No illnesses have been reported in connection with this product and no other Revolution Foods products are affected.

The recall was undertaken because, while the cartons of this lot of product are correctly labeled, some of the individual bars are incorrectly labeled as Grammy Sammy - Honey Graham and Strawberry Yogurt™, and show the ingredient statement of that product.  Both the selling unit and individually wrapped bars include information that the product was produced in a facility that processes peanuts as well as other allergens.  The Jammy Sammy™ product contains organic peanut flour and organic peanut extract, but the inner wrappers are mislabeled with the Grammy Sammy information.  Consumers who are allergic to peanut products should not use these products. People experiencing any health issue should seek immediate medical attention.

Specific UPC codes for these products are below:

The recall is being undertaken with the knowledge of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.  Consumers with any questions are asked to call 1-866-362-1562 between the hours of 8am - 8pm EST Monday - Friday and 8am - 5pm EST Saturday & Sunday, or email: info@nest-collective.com.

"The Jammy Sammy™ product meets Nest Collective's high standard for quality, however due to a labeling error during production, we are proactively removing this product from the market," said Neil Grimmer, Founder & CEO of Nest Collective.

"As a father, the safety and satisfaction of our consumers and their children is my highest concern," said Neil Grimmer. "Nest Collective was founded on the vision of superior quality and nutritious food; we are committed to these values and our consumers."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Utility Workers Union of America will sponsor a plane banner over the Super Bowl on February 5, 2012 to publicize the ongoing criminal prosecution of United Water for alleged environmental felonies.

The banner will fly over Super Bowl Village, Lucas Oil Stadium, and downtown Indianapolis from 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 5 to promote a UWUA website detailing a 26-count federal criminal indictment pending against the for-profit water utility company.

On December 8, 2010, a federal grand jury issued an indictment charging that United Water and two of its managers tampered with E. coli bacteria monitoring tests at a Gary, Indiana wastewater treatment plant between 2003 and 2008.  Prosecutors allege that United Water manipulated the monitoring tests as part of a scheme to reduce its costs for purchasing chlorine, which is used as a disinfectant before the plant discharges treated sewage into a public waterway near Chicago.

United Water and the two managers have pleaded not guilty in the case.

The UWUA has criticized public statements by top management of the company seeking to minimize the seriousness of the charges.  In a press release issued the same day as the indictment, United Water President Robert Iacullo stated that "the government's claim is, at best, a disagreement about operating and monitoring methods, with no allegation of environmental harm."

"We are astonished by United Water's claim that this indictment involves a 'disagreement about operating and monitoring methods,'" stated UWUA National Vice President John Duffy. "United Water stands accused of tampering with E. coli monitoring reports over a five year period – for wastewater discharges into a major urban area – merely to boost its profits." If convicted, the two indicted managers could face decades in prison, and the company subjected to a significant fine and probation.

The UWUA website – available at www.UnitedWaterIndictment.net - includes copies of the indictment, internal United Water emails released by prosecutors, and additional information concerning the case.  The site also includes additional information concerning United Water, including a series of recent complaints issued by the National Labor Relations Board charging the company with violations of federal labor law.

United Water is a wholly-owned subsidiary of French multinational Suez Environnement.

The Utility Workers Union of America represents working men and women in the utility and related industries throughout the U.S., including United Water employees in Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.  UWUA members are committed to promoting the highest quality and safest utility services possible.  We believe that utility companies that treat the communities and customers they serve with respect, consideration, and the highest ethical and legal standards will also treat employees fairly.
