Wal-Mart Recalls Trail Mix After Reports of Glass, Plastic

[deadparrot]

(AP) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. recalled a house brand of trail mix and took remaining bags off shelves nationwide after three customers said they found glass or hard plastic in bags bought in two states, the retailer and the mix's maker said Tuesday.

Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart said it ordered stores over the weekend to remove Sam's Choice "Nature Trail" Trail Mix from sale. It also programed cash registers at all stores to block sales of the product, spokeswoman Karen Burk said.

The product is supplied to Wal-Mart by Jessup, Md.-based Ann's House of Nuts.

Jim Giles, vice president of quality assurance for Ann's, said the company had launched an investigation at its plant in Robersonville, N.C., where the trail mix was produced.

As a child I broke a tooth eating some rice (there were stones in it) from David Fong's restaurant. Mr. Fong himself came over and apologized... that tooth gave me trouble nonstop until two years ago when I had it capped.
