 Only Post LiveActive Mixed Berry Crunch Cereal with 'Best When Used By' Date
                               17DEC08 affected
NORTHFIELD, Ill., June 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kraft Foods is
recalling 12,553 cases of Post LiveActive Mixed Berry Crunch Cereal with the
"Best When Used By" date of 17DEC08 because a small number of boxes may
contain tree nuts (almonds, pecans and/or walnuts), and no nut ingredients are
declared on the label. The Post LiveActive Mixed Berry Crunch Cereal has a UPC
code of 00430000238900 and comes in a 13-oz retail carton.  People who have an
allergy or severe sensitivity to tree nuts run the risk of serious or
life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

    The company has voluntarily issued a nationwide recall to alert any tree
nut-allergic consumers who may have the product at home. The Mixed Berry
Crunch Cereals were sold in stores nationwide.
    The company's review confirmed the presence of nuts in samples sent for
testing after it received one consumer report of an allergic reaction. The
company is aggressively investigating the situation, and currently believes it
received from the supplier a single tote of granola clusters for the Mixed
Berry product with a small amount of nut-containing granola clusters
inadvertently added.
    The company has consulted with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and
the agency is aware of the company's actions.
    Tree nut-allergic consumers are advised not to consume the product and are
asked to call 1-866-771-1511 for a full refund.
