General Mills announced today that it is voluntarily recalling a small number of chocolate flavor Fiber One 90-Calorie Chewy Bars because of a labeling mixup.  In a press release issued today the company says that boxes with the code 19MAY2012BV may have been put into the wrong boxes.  And that may mean, the company says, that some of the boxes may contain Fiber One Bars made with undeclared allergens like peanuts.

General Mills says that only one day's worth of product is affected.  It is feared, they said, that Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor Fiber One 90-Calorie Chewy Bar packages were put Chocolate Flavor Fiber One 90-Calorie Chewy Bars by mistake.


There have been, says General Mills, no reports of allergic reactions.


Customers will want to look for:

• 5-count boxes of Chocolate Flavor Fiber One 90-Calorie Chewy Bars with the “Better if Used By” code of 19MAY2012BV printed on the top of the box

There's nothing wrong with the bars themselves and General Mills says that the individual wrappers are actually correct--it's just the boxes that are wrong.  You can contact General Mills for replacement or a full refund.
