FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - September 22, 2010 - Suzipoo Ogunquit, Maine is voluntarily recalling Suzipoo Lobster Poo, 4 oz bags, because it may contain undeclared peanuts. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.


The product is in a small plastic bag with a red bow on the bag and the label on the front reads. "Lobster Poo" – Slogan – I went to Maine and here's the scoop I came back home with Lobster Poop.


Product was distributed to three retail stores in Maine from August 1-August 18, 2010. Each store has been visited and product labeling has been corrected. Ten- 4 oz. bags may be incorrectly labeled.


No illnesses have been reported to date.


The recall was initiated after it was discovered that product (burnt red peanuts) was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of peanuts.


Consumers who have purchased the product are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-207-251-0523.

     Alright.  I will admit that the life of anyone working in 'regulatory affairs' in the food and drug industries can be and often is a rather pedantic and even boring one.
     Then, once in a while something like this comes along.   An amusement,perhaps, to the overseer, but NOT much fun for anyone who happens to be allergic to peanuts.
     Apparently, the product is not really 'lobster poo', though neither is it labeled as 'the burnt red peanuts' that it actually is.
     For those whose faith impels them to subscribe to the rules laid out in Leviticus of the Old Testament,  I'm pretty sure that the lobster and any actual lobster poo both fall under the same dietary restriction.
     That would be my pronouncement, anyway.
Blessings,
Reverend Barbara Sexton
