caserri Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Just FYI to anyone here who sells these in their snack machines. Kelloggs has voluntarily pulled these products from store shelves for testing due to the recent salmonella scare. In light of this news I pulled all of these from my machine today as well. These crackers are my best sellers. I pay 0.15 for them and sell them at 0.50. My location blows through 100 packs a month.

mrs.caserri Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 famous amos peanut butter cookies and keebler soft batch homestyle peanut butter cookies have now been pulled also. they are also considering pulling lots of other stuff that MAY contain peanut butter or peanut paste. the scary thing about the peanut paste is it is used in a lot of things like cooking sauces and baked goods. according to the last article i've read, one third of the people who have gotten sick from this strain of salmonella don't remember eating any peanut butter. yikes! mrs. caserri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technivend Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Here is a link from the CDC for the latest recalled goods. If any of you vend Cliff products take a look as there are quite a few items from them recalled as well. http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/peanutbutterrecall/PeanutButterProducts2009.pdf On a side note, Hershey has released a statement saying that NONE of their products are affected and are safe. "HERSHEY, Pa., January 17, 2009 — The Hershey Company (NYSE: HSY) today issued a statement related to peanuts: No products made by The Hershey Company, including items and brands in the iconic Reese’s franchise, are affected by the recent recall related to peanut butter.
