WASHINGTON - A popular snack food sold nationwide is being recalled because of concerns about contamination. All lots and sizes of Veggie Booty Snack Food are being recalled, the company said, following a report of 51 cases of salmonella poisoning that may be associated with the product.
Georgine Hertzwig of Robert's American Gourmet in Sea Cliff, N.Y., said the company acted after the Food and Drug Administration contacted them about the illnesses in 17 states.
Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
Hertzwig said none of the products has tested positive for salmonella, but the company acted as a precaution after the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that many of the infected people has eaten the product.
Veggie Booty Snack Food is sold in supermarkets, health food stores, vending machines and online in the United States and Canada. It is sold in flexible plastic foil bags in 4 ounce, 1 ounce and half-ounce portions. The brand name is Robert's American Gourmet, and all codes and expiration dates of Veggie Booty are being recalled.
The company said consumers who purchased Veggie Booty and still have the product in their homes should discard the contents and contact the company at 1-800-626-7557 for reimbursement.
Got worried for a minute. I thought this was the same stuff as “Horny Goat Weed”
Those things SUCK. You’d have to be nuts to eat them anyway.
Well I have to say that they don’t sound appealing at all. I’ll take your word for it, as you sound like the voice of experience here.
Think this is a big seller in San Francisco?
LOL
More goofy than I imagined the packaging might be.
ARRRGH. It is, matey.
Probably cost twice as much as a bag of Doritos. These are the types of snacks that tree huggers flock to Whole Foods for. You know, feel-good snacks.
The marketeers would have you believe that “Veggie Booty” equals “Veggie Treasure”.
Us Boyz frum the Hood know that it translates to “Veggie Butt”.
‘Scuse me, I gotta run, my “Pork Booty” iz on da grill and iz burnin’
Vegetables and booties don’t go together. Then again, neither do...
I eat them while I’m cooking dinner.....there not that bad especially with a bottle of vino:-)
The only pirates in san fran are butt pirates.
Never heard of it. Whoo, thought it was something perverted.
I thought Cheney killed all the Salmonella? ;^)
They’re not saying where the crap came from. China?
Is Paris Hilton included in the recall?
well there isn’t much that doesn’t taste good with a bottle of vino :)
