| Abbott recalls Calcilo infant formula |
| June 1, 2008 at 12:47 pm |

Abbott has announced a voluntary recall of their Calcilo XD infant formula, after it was found the can may have been faulty, letting in air and causing oxidation. Oxidation = spoiled formula. Babies drinking the formula could experience gastronomic distress, like vomiting and diarrhea. Only the 14.1 ounce (400g) cans of the XD Low-Calcium/Vitamin D-Free infant formula are affected by this recall. More information on this recall can be found on the Abbott Nutrition website.

| Baby carrots recalled for Shigella bacteria risk | ||

That’s just great — those little baby carrots are about the only vegetable my kids will eat, and now a bunch of them are being recalled by the Los Angeles Salad Company because they may be contaminated with the bacteria Shigella. Yeah, I’ve never heard of Shigella either, but apparently it’s some nasty stuff causing diarrhea, fever, nausea and vomiting for 4 to 14 days — yikes! Young tots, the elderly, and folks with lowered immune systems are especially prone to severe symptoms. Sounds very similar to salmonella, which can’t be killed by washing only extreme hot or cold temperatures… The baby carrots in question are sold under two labels — one, “Los Angeles Salad Genuine Sweet Baby Carrots”, are sold at Kroger and Ralph’s in California, King Sooper in Colorado, and Publix in Georgia and Florida. Look for a “sell by” date of up to and including August 16, 2007. The second is “Trader Joe’s Genuine Sweet Baby Carrots” (not our beloved Trader Joe’s!), sold in Arizona, California, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon and Washington with a “sell by” date up to and including August 8, 2007. Don’t know if you would even have 3 week old carrots lying around, but if you do you should either chuck them in the garbage or return to place of purchase for a refund.

| Super Veggie Tings recalled |

Bummer — we here at IP headquarters are (were?) fans of the Robert’s products, but with Veggie Booty and Veggie Tings being such a big hit with the toddler and preschool set they have to be taking a big hit. We can only assume most parents will be pretty hesitant to feed their young ones these snacks again. How about you? Will you be buying the Booty after they’ve given the all clear?

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. hat tip: Mom-101 Tags: Food Recalls, salmonella, veggie bootyBookmark to:

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 | Filed under: Food Recalls |
| Lawsuits start flying from peanut butter recall |
| March 23, 2007 at 5:57 pm |

I’m filing this one under, “Wow, I can’t believe it took so long.” According to the website, Lawyers and Settlements (who we love so very much and would NEVER say anything negative or slanderous about, please don’t sue us), lawsuits have started piling up like piling up thingies against ConAgra over a salmonella outbreak in February 2007 tied to their line of Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter. Over 300 people became sick including a mother and her children who required emergency services. One family in Pennsylvania has even filed a wrongful death lawsuit, alleging that the victim died directly because of the salmonella she contracted from eating the peanut butter. This is one instance I’m glad I’m a choosy mom who chooses Jif, and will continue to do so. Or maybe I’ll just grow some peanuts in the backyard and make my own… Tag: Food RecallsBookmark to:
