Little Debbie Adds Snack Food to Salmonella Peanut Butter Recall
I would never in a million years feed my children Little Debbie products, but I remember eating them as a child.
Yesterday, Little Debbie announced the recall of its snack products containing peanut butter due to concerns of salmonella contamination.
Salmonella can be deadly, especially to children, and the company has responded with a voluntary recall of cookies, cakes, ice cream and other foods with peanut butter. The focus of the recall is peanut paste, in addition to peanut butter, produced at Peanut Corp.’s Blakely, Ga., facility. The peanut paste, made from roasted peanuts, which is often an ingredient in cookies, cakes and other products. Little Debbie has included its Peanut Butter Cheese sandwich cookies and Peanut Butter Toasty sandwich crackers in the recall.

Thus far, six people have died as a result of salmonella contaminated peanut butter that has been recalled.
As part of this recent outbreak, 470 people have gotten and at least 90 have been hospitalized. Salmonella is the most common form of food poisoing in the US. I guess it is time to start making peanut butter the old fashioned way at home.
BEWARE! The nutty bare are infected! I ate two this weekend and have been throwing up! I am a breastfeeding mother too! Not good!
I ate most of a full box of 24 before finding one that got me sick. It only takes one. Luck of the draw.
I didnt report my sickness to anyone. You have to go to a Doctor to have it confirmed and my sickness got better after a couple days (at least the Hemorrhaging of blood)
I have to pay everything out of pocket when going to a Doctor
Makes you wonder how many products would have been recalled if it was mandatory to report this kind of thing or if there was a health line to report.

We’ve been eating Nutty Bars all along with no problems. I don’t think salmonella just goes away after an upset stomach. Does it? Hopefully we are all safe with our Nutty Bars!

I eat Little Debbie nutty bars every day and have had no problems. I also want to say there has been a terrible stomach virus going around. My little granddaughter had it for 9 days and she had no PB products. Who knows, some of those who thought they had samonella poisioning might have had this.

I ate a nutty bar yesterday, why?, I’ve had the bubble guts today and bad gas yesterday. All of this after I told my friend to put some peanut butter back at the grocery store…
In 1980 I had “food poisoning. After the death of my father-in-law, some church ladies sent a baked ham to the house. It sit out all afternoon then some put it into the fridge. Next day, during the funeral, some of the church ladies came to put out the food. One of them reheated the ham. Well, salmonella was lurking. Some of the ham was ok and some people did not get sick from it, but my sister-in-law, her brother and I all got very, very sick. We were taken by ambulance to the ER, but before that, I was sitting on the throne with my head stuck in a wastebasket and the yuck was coming from both ends. It was very harsh and lasted for hours. My sister-in-law and her brother had their stomach’s pumped. They were bending over double because of the pain. The doctor said most of the bad food had already gone through me. The hospital had to give me fresh clothing to wear home because I was sick in the ambulance. This wasn’t a simple sick stomach or a few loose stools either. It was awful. So, to you all I think you people would know if you got sick from salmonella poisoning.
