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.
My boyfriend ate 3 nutty bars within the past 2 weeks and he is sick also like some of you are stating, liquid bowels, cramps, and everything. I find it hard to believe that this could be a “by chance” thing since others are getting sick from nutty bars too. Nutty bars have peanut butter in them so why wouldnt they be on the list too? I think they should be added because people are getting sick from these things
The recalled PB crackers were apparently made for Little Debbie by the Kellog Corporation, which bought Peanut paste from the contaminated source. Little Debbie products do not use this source for the products they manufacture, including the Nutty Buddy Bars, and so these should be okay. There are of course, no guarantees in life, including the safety of expensive “organic” products many prefer.
A few days ago, my wife ate a package ( 2 bars in a package ), of “Little Debbie Nutty Bars”, because it is NOT on the list. She ate them in the morning, and that night she was sick with an upset stomach, and she ended up “throwing up” like 3-4 times that night, plus she had diarrhea all night long as well.
I told her to get rid of all the “Nutty Bars” and bring them back to the store and get them out of the house, because they need to be added to the list of recalls to help protect people!!!
This is what lil Debbie did to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW3ytw_8XHA
The nutty bars are not included in the recall, as they are not made from the company in GA. My husband is a distributer for Little, and they are not hiding anything from the consumers. The nutty bars are our kids favorite Little Debbie snack, and have never gotten sick from them. Get the facts before you start slandering good companies.
i have a box right now and they tempt me every time i open my panterey the nutty bars are so good so ill eat one for the sake of others
I ate Little Debbie Nutty Bars yesterday and have had an upset stomach and diarrhea all day. I have a feeling that Nutty Bars need to be added to the list.
WOW THIS IS WEIRD…MY HUSBAND ATE A NUTTY BUDDY LAST WEEK (WELL HE ATE 2 PACKAGES) HE HAS HAD DIARRHEA AND UPSET STOMACH FOR THE PAST WEEK AFTER HE ATE THEM…I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A STOMACH VIRUS, BUT AFTER READING ALL OF THIS IT MAKES ME WONDER ITS GOOD THE WIFE IS TAKING UP FOR HER HUSBANDS COMPANY, BUT WHAT IS THIS JUST A COINCIDENCE??
MY QUESTION IS TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SYMPTONS WHAT DID YOU DO ABOUT IT OR DID YOU JUST LET THEM SUBSIDE?
I just bought three boxes and have already killed 1 box now on to the second the nutty goodness is just too hard to resist!
