FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Fairfield, NJ -- May 25, 2004 -- Schratter
Foods Inc. of Fairfield , New Jersey , is recalling all packages of
"Frico” brand Chevrette Goat’s Milk Cheese, imported from Holland ,
because it may contain undeclared lysozyme made from egg whites.
People who have an allergy to eggs run the risk of serious or
life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

The recalled "Frico” brand Chevrette Goat’s Milk Cheese was
distributed nationwide in retail stores and through distributors.

The "Frico” brand Chevrette Goat’s Milk Cheese comes in bulk 9 lb.
wheels, and was also sold at retail in cryo-vac cut & wrapped portions
of approximately 8 oz. labeled as “Frico” brand Mild & Tangy Flavor
CHEVRETTE Goat’s Milk CHEESE . All lots and all code dates are being
recalled.

We have received one reported illness to date in connection with this
problem.

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the
lysozyme-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not
reveal the presence of lysozyme, which was omitted by the
manufacturer.

All importation and distribution of this product has been suspended
until the FDA and the company are certain that the problem has been
corrected.

Consumers who have purchased this cheese are urged to return it to the
place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may
contact the company at (201) 641-6851.
