Seems like they be putting salmonella in everything these days.
Salmonella - I put that shit on everything!
Fun fact: You have to give PII including street address to get a refund, and they reserve the right to do whatever they want with it as per their privacy policy.
Probably a cheque will be mailed out in some number of weeks from the refund requests…
Maybe, but then they should really ask for my mailing address, which is different. Or, you know, just don’t apply their contest policies to a legal settlement.
“Oh man! We screwed up and sent out potentially deadly food to customers, isn’t this a great opportunity to gather their marketing information?”
And people are so conditioned to this they’ll probably get away with it.
Guess what I had for breakfast yesterday morning.
I, too, ate the spicy danger oats.
All is good though?
I had a bit of gas, but that could have just been the fiber. I think I’m good.
How long does salmonella live on a granola bar? I wouldn’t think it would be indefinite.
Out of curiosity, anyone know where these are made? Quaker’s plan in Peterborough ON makes some of these products.
Contamination like this is usually due to sanitation in packaging, since most products are cooked and sterilized before they’re packed. Either the packing areas got contaminated, or a downstream provider of packing materials did. Either way, bad day for everyone involved.
According to their info page Quaker Canada runs two plants, one in Peterborough like you mentioned, and the other in Trenton.
I’ve been in the Trenton plant, they aren’t made there.
I live in Peterborough, which is why I was curious. I can’t find any information about which products, or production-lots of products are made where.
