The Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Cadbury Adams Canada have issued a warning about the company's famed Mini Eggs -- saying that consumers with a hazelnut protein allergy could have a potentially serious reaction to the product.
The affected product is the 39 gram packages of the milk chocolate Mini Eggs, which do not declare that hazelnut is an ingredient on the product's packaging.
There has already been one reported illness with the product, CIFA's advisory said. The news comes on the same day as Honduran cantaloupes were voluntarily recalled:
The Cadbury products, bearing UPC 0 61200 08021 6 and lot codes 02457T and 02357T are being recalled by the company.
For more information, consumers can call one of the following numbers:

- CIFA at 1-800-442-2342 / TTY 1-800-465-7735 (8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern time, Monday to Friday -except on Monday March 24, 2008).
