nationwide ban
In recent weeks, at least 10 and possibily

ifWe stopped ordering.it two months
ago because at any time the FDA i federal
Food and Drug Administration)
could demand a recall and we'd get
stuck with it," the store manager said
"We're talking about a large order of
400-600 cases It's too volatile a
situation."
