Capri Sun drinks (foil pouch)

Post by Bobbie » Fri Nov 07, 2014 9:07 pm

Maybe you all are aware of this, but I was not. Apparently it's not new news either. One of my friends posted a clip on Facebook. The incident shown took place on November 5, 2014. I can't figure out how to copy it, but I found another clip on YouTube (btw, there are numerous clips on there about this problem).

I know my grandkids drink CapriSun and I'm praying and hoping that they didn't get any of the ones with worms, mold, etc inside of the package. I don't understand how this can continue to happen -- is the FDA sleeping on the job????? From what I can see, this has been a known fact for a couple years.

If you have this crap in your home, pitch it NOW. Or if you know people who are letting their kids drink it, please warn them about this problem.

I'm finding out that a few people knew about this but most people did NOT! How can this product remain on the shelves at the grocery store. Plus I think its usually the drink item in the Lunchables. As a treat, I'll sometimes let the little ones pick out a Lunchable. Those days are OVER. :mrgreen:

Did it happen again? Because it did happen in 2012, but I hadn't heard anything more recent than that. In fact, that YouTube video was posted in November 2013.

Edit:
On further research, it seems there is a warning printed on every pouch that since it contains no preservatives you should not drink it if the package is damaged or swollen, as air entering it can cause mold to grow. The mold, however, is similar to bread mold and other than being gross to drink will cause no more harm than a stomach ache, possibly brief vomiting.

Yes, the video clip that was just posted on my Facebook took place day before yesterday (11-5-14). I don't know how to post it here -- that's why I went to YouTube.

They also announced in April they were introducing new pouches with a clear bottom so you can see for yourself before handing it to your kid.

I heard about it also. It's scary to think what is in our packaged food :?
