FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- February 4, 2009 – As a result of the expansion of Peanut Corporation of America’s (PCA) Salmonella related recall to include all peanut ingredient products produced in their Blakely, Georgia facility since January 1, 2007, Weaver Popcorn Company has issued a precautionary voluntary recall for the following product:

• 9.5 oz. Trail’s End® Caramel Corn with Peanuts, with code date markings of “102861 109 JAN 19 08” through “102861 297 JUL 23 09”.

No other Trail's End or Weaver Popcorn Company products are part of this recall.

"Although Weaver Popcorn has received no complaints or reports of any illness related to this product, we are taking this precautionary action out of an abundance of caution and consistent with our 80-year unwavering commitment to consumer safety and to providing the highest-quality products," said Mike Weaver, Weaver Popcorn Company President and CEO.

Since the vast majority of this product has not been sold for a number of months, it is assumed that what has been sold has been consumed. Consumers who have purchased this recalled product are urged to destroy it. Consumers with an unopened, sealed popcorn foil bag, with the above listed code dates, can arrange for a refund by calling 1-800-782-4255 (Monday through Friday from 8:00am – 3:00pm EST) or by sending an email to ccp@trails-end.com

Ready! Set! Go Sell Popcorn!

The Girl Scouts have their cookies and we Cub Scouts have our Popcorn. It is time again for our Popcorn Sales Drive. The selling of Popcorn helps the scouts to fund the fun activities that are done throughout the scouting season.

Popcorn order forms were passed out at today's scout meeting. The first scout to turn in an order for over $100 in popcorn will receive a special edition scouting cap. All scouts that turn in at least one completely sold out order form will all receive special gifts. It was suggested that you target friends, relatives, and neighbors.

This year, the Popcorn Kernel for our pack is Njoki Wainaina. Her contact information is (313)590-0188 (evenings), nwiainain@ford.com (weekdays only). Please give her 24 hours to respond to your questions.

Absolutely No Personal Checks Accepted by Pack 647 for popcorn payment. Only Cash, Money Orders, or Cashiers Checks, made out to "Cubscout Pack 647", will be accepted. NO EXCEPTIONS!!

For every $ 100.00 in popcorn orders you place, your cub will receive a $ 10.00 discount on his registration cost. So SALE! SALE! SALE!
