STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. (BRAIN) — EN-R-G Foods LLC is replacing some of its Protein Chews sold recently because the company has received several reports of consumers having nausea and vomiting soon after eating the chews.
The company said it is investigating the cause and that no more serious illnesses have been reported.
The chews were manufactured by Santa Cruz Nutritionals, LLC. The company said after consulting with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration they have decided to tell consumers to not eat and to throw out any Honey Stinger Protein Chews they have.
"We will be glad to replace the product with other, unaffected Honey Stinger products. If you purchased these products from a retailer please return the product to the store," the company said in a letter to consumers or retailers who may have purchased the chews. The action is considered a "Voluntary Field Correction" in FDA terms.
