Procter & Gamble Co. recalled two of their Pringles flavors, Cheeseburger and "Taco Night," because of suspected Salmonella contamination.
After recommendations from the Food and Drug Administration, P&G voluntarily recalled the salty snacks. A good move to ensure a bad thing doesn’t get worse. Luckily, no illnesses linked to these products have been reported so far.
"The safety of our products is P&G's top priority, and we follow rigorous food safety and ingredient testing standards. We are withdrawing these products out of an abundance of caution for consumer safety and in response to FDA's recommendation to the food industry," the company said in a statement today.
For those who already bought the potentially poisonous snacks, P&G is offering replacement coupons or refunds.
But they are just one of many to join in on this recalling. The list has grown to 94 food products that have been recalled, and it's only expected to grow. Flavor-enhancer hydrolyzed vegetable protein is said to be the culprit. It is manufactured by Basic Food Flavors Inc., who issued a recall after finding Salmonella on it's equipment.
Symptoms of Salmonella include diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps. Make sure you report any of these symptoms to your doc, and also be sure to check your kitchens for any recalled items.
Safe and happy eating!
