Just a heads up for those of you who have been stocking up on Kellogg's products this month. Kellogg's is voluntary recalling some Eggo frozen waffles after the Georgia Agricultural Department found listeria in a sample. The press release says the products were not shipped into the marketplace, but I figured I might as well post the info just in case. Here's the official press release about it, and here's the info on the products being recalled:

• Kellogg's® Eggo® Cinnamon Toast waffles, 10-count package, UPC code 3800040440 with “Best If Used Before” dates beginning with: NOV22 10 EA, NOV23 10 EA and NOV24 10 EA.
• Kellogg’s® Eggo® Toaster Swirlz™ Cinnamon Roll Minis eight-count package, UPC code 3800023370 with a “Best If Used Before” date beginning with NOV15 10 EA

Food Lion has issued a recall due to possible salmonella contamination.

The affected product is Food Lion Instant Nonfat Dry Milk, SKU 35826-03577, 9.6 oz.

Consumers are being asked to return the product to the store for a full refund.

You can find information on Food Lion recalls here.

I know some of you feed your pets Nutro, so I thought I'd post this (view the full release here):

Franklin, Tennessee (May 21, 2009) -- Today, Nutro Products announced a voluntary recall of select varieties of NUTRO® NATURAL CHOICE® COMPLETE CARE® Dry Cat Foods and NUTRO® MAX® Cat Dry Foods with “Best If Used By Dates” between May 12, 2010 and August 22, 2010. The cat food is being voluntarily recalled in the United States and ten additional countries. This recall is due to incorrect levels of zinc and potassium in our finished product resulting from a production error by a US-based premix supplier.

This weekend, Harris Teeter recalled its Harris Teeter Natural brand Roasted & Salted Pistachios due to potential contamination with the salmonella organism.

The recall covers Harris Teeter Natural Roasted & Salted Pistachios, UPC #007203653117. Package Size 12 oz., all dates.

You should be able to return any product you may have to the store for a full refund.

I know, two pet-related posts in one day... but I thought it was important to let the pet owners out there know (especally dog owners) that some pet food and treats are now being affected by the ongoing peanut butter recall. See this Wall Street Journal story or the FDA Web site for more info. 

A heads up for parents:

Kellogg is asking stores to stop selling some of its peanut butter crackers because the peanut butter in them may possibly be linked to some cases of salmonella. The peanut butter was made by a company called The Peanut Corp. of America that supplies Kellogg. The specific products affected include Austin and Keebler Toasted Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers, Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Crackers, Cheese and Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers and Peanut Butter-Chocolate Sandwich crackers.

Consumers with questions or seeking a refund can call the Kellogg Consumer Response Center at 888-314-2060. And, if you have purchased some of these crackers and would be willing to speak with the N&O, please e-mail me. Be sure to include your phone number.

Heads up for all of you with a freezer full of Hot Pockets...
