CONSUMERS ASKED TO DISCARD SELECTED KNORR BOUILLON CUBES

CPC International Inc. is asking U.S. consumers to discard Knorr-brand chicken, beef and fish bouillon cubes after an employee detected metal wire in an ingredient supplied to the company.

CPC said consumers should throw away bouillon cubes with UPC codes 70101, 70102, and 70106. Production codes for these products are embossed on the side of the product carton and begin with the numbers O5, A5 or B5.

CPC Vice President of Communications Gale Griffin said production using this ingredient was stopped immediately and it is possible that this was an isolated incident.

Griffin said CPC is removing all Knorr bouillon cubes in the selected code numbers from store shelves in the United States to ``be absolutely sure'' of the safety of its products.

No other Knorr products are affected.
