White Wave Recalls Soy Milk

   POSTED: 1:44 p.m. PDT April 17, 2003
   BOULDER, Colo. -- A company is recalling 25,000 cases of soy milk that
   may  have  been  contaminated  with  a caustic, sodium hydroxide-based
   material used to clean and sanitize manufacturing equipment.

   White  Wave  Inc. announced the voluntary recall of Vanilla Silk brand
   soy  milk  on  Wednesday.  The half-gallon containers were packaged in
   several plants and sold throughout the United States.

   Two people were treated for drinking the soy milk but neither case was
   serious, company spokesman David Margulies said Thursday.

   The  chemical  affects  the  taste  and  smell of the soy milk so much
   customers  are not likely to drink it, he said. People who do drink it
   will probably experience a burning sensation or nausea.

   The  codes  "Jun  17 03" or "Jun 18 03" and "H CD-70" or "J CD-70" are
   stamped  at  the  top  of  each  recalled  container. The first set of
   numbers  is  the  expiration  date,  while the second set is a company
   code.

   No other Vanilla Silk, Silk or White Wave products are involved in the
   recall.

   Boulder-based  White  Wave  has  ordered  the  recalled soy milk to be
   removed  from store shelves, and consumers who bought the product were
   urged  to  return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Those
   who  experience  nausea  or other symptoms should contact their health
   care provider, the company said.

   For  more information, White Wave can be reached at 1-800-488-9283. Or
