FDA: Maker of GoGo squeeZ applesauce pouches voluntarily recalls product

NEW YORK -- Materne North America Corp. (MNA) is voluntarily recalling specific packages of GoGo squeeZ applesauce pouches because food product residue was some in two product pumps in one of its factories, according to the FDA.

The recalled applesauce pouches have a Best Before Date of 12/4/15-3/4/17 and a 5 digit production code beginning “US” followed by 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07 or 08, which consumers can identify on the back of the pouch or on the bottom of the box, and “Product of USA” displayed under the Nutrition Facts Panel on the box. Any products labeled as organic are not impacted by the recall.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this issue.

The food product residue was noted during a routine inspection by the Michigan State Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD), which revealed its presence in two product pumps at the Traverse City, Michigan production facility. It is possible the food product residue may have been incorporated into finished product.
