The Parenting Buzz : “Veggie Booty” Recalled
Seems a Pirate just can’t catch a break these days – Robert’s American Gourmet, makers of the snack food Pirate Booty and other delectable delights have announced an immediate recall of all Veggie Booty products.
The FDA ordered Veggie Booty to walk the plank after linking it to a multi-state outbreak of salmonellosis, a bacterial infection that can cause diarrhea, fever and vomiting.
In fact, at least 51 cases of salmonellosis linked to Veggie Booty have been identified across the US as far back as early March – and almost all of those affected were toddlers or infants.
Salmonellosis symptoms usually develop within one to five days after eating contaminated food. While most people get better without the need for medical attention, it is recommended that anyone who has eaten Veggie Booty and is ill with bloody diarrhea or diarrhea with fever contact their health care provider.
If you have packages of Veggie Booty, you should throw the contents away and return the empty bag to either to the store or to Robert’s American Gourmet for reimbursement or a product voucher.
Aaaarrrghhh!
