Wegmans Recalls Food You Feel Good About Spring Water

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- August 11, 2006 -- Rochester , NY -- Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. is voluntarily recalling all sizes of Wegmans Food You Feel Good About (FYFGA) Spring Water , produced for Wegmans by Mayer Brothers, located in West Seneca , New York . All use-by dates on or before 08/08/08 are affected by this recall.
Wegmans' decision to recall the products was made after they received test results on the level of bromate in the bottled product. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set 10 parts per billion as the maximum allowable level of bromate in bottled water. Some tests results showed no detectable levels of bromate in Wegmans FYFGA Spring Water, while other tests showed levels that exceed the maximum. The results range from zero to 25 parts per billion (ppb).
"Until we receive conclusive test results that verify these products meet FDA regulations and our own quality standards, we felt it was best to issue a voluntary recall," said Jo Natale, Wegmans' director of media relations. "We are hopeful that we will resolve this matter quickly and can once again offer these products to our customers with total confidence." In the meantime, Wegmans will offer other brands of bottled spring water to meet customer demand for the product.
Customers are encouraged to return the products to Wegmans for a full refund. Consumers who have questions or concerns about this recall should contact Wegmans Consumer Affairs Department at 585-464-4760 (in Rochester) or toll free at 1 (800) WEGMANS (934-6267) Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.
