Well that’s great, I just lost my only surefire way to trick the kids into at least getting the semblance of a vegetable into their diets. The popular snack Veggie Booty is being recalled due to a salmonella outbreak in Oregon and 16 other states so far.

At least 51 cases of salmonella poisoning have been identified nationally that are believed to be linked to the product, almost all are among toddlers or infants, according to the Oregon Department of Human Services.

“At this time we don’t have enough information to be able to limit the recall to particular production lots,” [William Keene, senior epidemiologist for the Oregon Department of Human Services] said. “Anyone who has packages of Veggie Booty in their home should return it to the store or throw it away.”

You heard the man, throw that shit away. I know it will be painful, I know first hand it will really suck trying to get the kids to eat real spinach (oh, wait) and kale, but it must be done. Full Veggie Booty recall information is available on the company’s website.
