Web Responds to Oatmeal Recall
by Claudine ZapJul 9, 2009
Is nothing sacred? Now even breakfast foods could be suspect.
There's a recall of products with instant dried milk that could be contaminated with salmonella. So you know the drill. The list of products is likely to grow as it's discovered where all that instant dried milk ended up.
After the FDA found salmonella at their plant, the Plainview Milk Products Cooperative of Minnesota started to voluntarily recall products made in the past two years. The product list is already growing.
The recall originally centered on a single tainted product, but has since expanded to the Malt-O-Meal "Maple & Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal." The brand is sold nationally under other names. Meijer hot chocolate mix and some Kroger popcorn toppings have also been added to the recall list. According to USA Today, no illnesses have been linked to this latest outbreak.
News of the forbidden foods caused online lookups for "oatmeal recall," "fda recalls," and "food recalls" all to move up in one-day searches.
For a complete list of recalled products, check the FDA website.
