Quaker Oats recalls granola products over risk of salmonella contamination

Quaker Oats has recalled several of its granola products because it says the foods could be contaminated with salmonella. The company is asking customers to throw out certain types of granola bars and granola cereals to avoid infection. As of Friday, Quaker said it had not received any reports of salmonella infections related to the recalled foods. Salmonella infections can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. In rare cases, the bacterial disease can be fatal. Customers are being asked to report their recalled products to the company by phone or online for more information and reimbursement.

@RepShontelBrown thank you, Congresswoman! I hope you will also push to protect true organic farmers who contribute not only healthful food but also soils conservation and animal welfare. So much better for us and the planet! #organicFarms

What if you were able to spend less time at the office and more on #organicFarms?

Earlier today we wondered whether starting #PickersUnion's might be a thing. As a group you'd take on #fruit picking jobs on #organicFarms.

Just like a #workingHoliday.

Your tribe might go out once every month for 3 days of #picking.

If this is something that you think you might like, why not setup a #FediIdentity for one in your area?

(2/2)… cleaner, healthier food and #beverage to #Australians and the world.

Now #organicFarms risk losing their certification from nearby use of #toxicSprays. A step in the *wrong* direction.

Another blow for #publicHealth.

Blame the #cronyist govt, #greedDriven #BigPharma, particular #grainGrowers and prospective #GMSoy and #GMCanola #growers, and the #corporateMedia.
