My wife got an alert from a candy trade organization about this yesterday. They were recommending pulling all caramel apples from the shelves. Of course, she makes her own caramel and doesn't buy prepackaged caramel apples for her store, and she's sold out of caramel apples anyway.

I'm guessing this will trace back to some particular processing plant, probably down to a specific machine. Is it going to be the caramel or the apples? Apples seem more likely, but it might be some packaging machine that was contaminated.
