Licorice Lovers listen up - The one pound packages of Red Vines Black Licorice twists have been recalled after The American Licorice Co. found they contain high levels of lead. The voluntary recall comes after the state Department of Public Health told consumers to toss the contaminated candy. The department says the licoricce contained as much as point three three (0.33) parts per million of lead - the concentration of lead could provide up to 13.2 micrograms of lead per serving - children under the age of six should not consume more than 6.0 micrograms of lead per day from all dietary sources. The recall only affects 16 ounce bags of Red Vines Black LIcorice twists - the date is printed on the back of the package - you're looking for the best before date of 02-04-13.
