Seriously?! The nesquick, too?! I got a letter the other day about the 30ct variety cereal from Sam's. Apparently the mini-wheats had mesh particles in them. It is a little late with 4 kids! The kids seem fine, though. :D I thought about going to all organic, but my mother-in-law's natural peanut butter was recalled not too long ago. Is nothing processed safe anymore? LOL

Huh. Our large container (48.7oz from Costco) isn't part of the recall, but my youngest was diagnosed with Salmonella back in September. No one else in family got sick at all, and our local Health Department was stumped as to the source.

 

The best we can guess is that she handled the dog food without us knowing and didn't wash her hands.

 

This stuff is scary. :(

Mine from Sam's is Oct. 2014, but thankfully, it's also the 48.7oz container. Phew!

I got a call from the Health Department when my middle son had a stool sample come back positive for salmonella. The funny thing is that he never was sick from that. The doctor didn't even give me the results - he said everything was normal! The HD has to follow up anyway, because it's reportable, and thus I found out about the salmonella from the HD, not the doctor (we no longer use that doctor). :glare: My son could have gotten it from anywhere, and again, he didn't get sick. His stool sample was due to very long term diarrhea issues, and we later realized it was fructose that caused it (so an apple a day did NOT keep the doctor away in his case :tongue_smilie:). The salmonella was a fluke find.
