Vanilla flavor Jell-OBrand Sugar Free Fat Free Reduced Calorie Instant Pudding & Pie Filling with the 05 MAR 07 D8 code date because the product may contain pistachio nuts which are not listed in the ingredients in the package. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to pistachio nuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these recalled products. No illnesses or allergic reactions have been reported to date. The product was distributed in the Midwestern United States.

This recall of the Vanilla flavor is in addition to the previous recall of Jell-O Brand Sugar Free Fat Free Reduced Calorie Instant Pudding and Pie Filling announced April 11, 2005, of 1 oz.

Vanilla flavor Jell-OBrand Sugar Free Fat Free Reduced Calorie Instant Pudding & Pie Filling with the 05 MAR 07 D8 code.

The company recently discovered that some of the Vanilla flavor had been shipped and therefore expanded the previous recall to include the Vanilla flavor. The company has taken steps to prevent a recurrence. No other Jell-O products are part of the recall.
