Ferrero Canada Recalls TIC TAC Breath Mints

Canwest News Service, Saturday, March 29, OTTAWA -- Ferrero Canada, the producer of Tic Tac candy, has initiated a recall of certain varieties of its popular breath mint product.

Ferraro said the recalled products, which have been distributed across Canada, may contain small pieces of plastic packaging material in the Tic Tac container.

The company is advising consumers not to consume certain Tic Tac flavours, including the Tic Tac Fresh Mint and Orange flavours sold as individual 18 gram containers or 4 packs, as well as Tic Tac Spearmint flavoured candy sold in the single 18 gram containers.

According to Ferrero, the recall applies to these specific products sold only in Canada, and can be identified by best before dates up to and including August 31, 2009. The company said other Tic Tac varieties are unaffected by the recall.

The recall was initiated voluntarily by Ferraro, who stated they are working with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency on the recall.
