Nestl? USA announced the voluntary recall of limited quantities of Nestl? NESQUIK Chocolate Powder in the 10.9, 21.8 and 40.7 ounce canisters. The voluntary recall is limited to only NESQUIK Chocolate Powder, which was distributed nationally.

The affected Nesquick Chocolate Powder was produced during early October, 2012. To locate the production code, consumers should look on the bottom of the canister, adjacent to the consumer expiration date. All affected products have an expiration date of "BEST BEFORE Oct 2014."
Consumers who may have purchased the affected Nesquick Chocolate Powder should not consume it, but instead should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Nestl? Consumer Services at (800) 628-7679.
The most common symptoms of?Salmonella?infection are diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever, which develop within eight to 72 hours of eating or drinking contaminated food. The illness usually lasts for four to seven days and most people recover without treatment. However, salmonellosis can be severe or even life threatening for infants, older people, pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems. Individuals experiencing these symptoms should seek medical attention.

Nestl? is dedicated to the health and safety of its consumers. For these reasons, the company initiated this voluntary recall. We apologize to our consumers and sincerely regret any inconvenience created by this incident.
