Oatmeal Recall

Wednesday July 8, 2009

Oatmeal Recall - Photo courtesy of the FDAWe are still dealing with several food recalls right now, including the E. coli cookie dough recall that has affected 72 people in 30 states and an E. coli outbreak from beef products that has affected 23 people in 9 states.

There is a new recall now -- various foods made with instant nonfat dried milk, whey protein, fruit stabilizers, and gums (thickening agents) manufactured by Plainview Milk Products Cooperative. It is thought that these food products might be contaminated with Salmonella.

In addition to Malt-O-Meal Hearty Traditions Maple & Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal and other brands of instant oatmeal , other recall food products include some brands of non-fat dried milk powder, other drink mix products, and butter flavored toppings from Kroger. If you have any of these recalled products, throw them out or try to get a refund, and call your pediatrician if your child recently ate any of the recalled products and has any symptoms of salmonella.
