I have decided to reopen this thread. There was no reason to close it simply because the OP didn't care for peoples opinions...sorry Shawman....thats just how I feel. I am going to talk to the admin about the extent of which members are allowed to delete their own threads....I would also like to add that the reason, I'm guessing...that the OP named this thread, the name it was given, was b/c I have seen this topic listed under the SAME NAME in a few different places that I frequent. I'm ASSUMING the OP was just carrying on the name she had already read elsewhere.
That being said...I found this today....
After a Florida woman found a disgusting blob of mold in a pouch of Capri Sun juice, Kraft Foods has taken to Facebook to defend itself and its product, Chicago Breaking Business reported.
Melissa Wiegand Brown of Homestead, Fla., found the mold in her drink and posted photos of the "oval, skin-like substance" on Facebook. The pictures went viral.
On Friday, Kraft Foods responded to the blogosphere with a section devoted to the Capri Sun controversy on its Facebook page.
The company tested the substance Brown found and determined it was mold, Chicago Breaking Business reported. An independent laboratory -- Silliker, Inc -- then confirmed the finding, Kraft spokeswoman Bridget MacConnell said.
On its Facebook page Kraft said that while the mold finding is unpleasant, it is not indicative of a wider safety issue and the company is not issuing a Capri Sun recall.
"An issue with a single pouch does not indicate a broader problem, particularly because we were told from the start it was a leaking package and this product is preservative free," the company said on Facebook.
"When a leak occurs, a preservative free beverage can spoil and mold can grow. We believe that is what happened here. Because this can happen, we include a message on the carton that consumers should discard any leaking or damaged packages."
While Kraft said that while not common, because the product is preservative free, mold issues occur from time to time.
"We regret this situation and understand that it is unpleasant," Kraft said.
"Many of us are parents, too, so we care about what our kids and your kids drink. The safety of our food and the well being of our consumers are critically important to us. And we're doing everything we can to address the situation as quickly as possible."
