Kashi RECALL of some cookies and chewy granola bars

[sfpcjock]

I've been eating the Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Chip cookies for a month and am fine, but I guess that they contain some peanut flour of unknown provenance. Here's the list:

1. that's strange

a week ago I went to the Kashi site to check and they said the TLC stuff was not involved in the recall because they do not purchase stuff from the supplier involved. So I ate my my TLC peanut bars and nothing happened.

2. They need to recall their Go Lean cereal, as well

I love that stuff, but good God in heaven does it make me fart. All day long. I don't know what they put in it--concentrated bean extract, compressed air, or something military-grade--but after one bowl of that stuff, my cheeks are guaranteed not to touch for 24 hours. I feel like an inverted air hockey game.

And I'm not the only person to complain about this, believe me.

3. Wow

Everyone's different with regard to gas. You might try raw oats, wheat germ, some Nabisco Shredded Wheat, walnuts and raisins. That's what I add to Go-Lean which doesn't bother me.

For me it's S&W black beans... OMG the original "colon blow". I don't have a problem with Kashi Go-Lean cereal and my 92 year old grandmother eats it, too. She even likes the Kashi Vive pro-biotic cereal. Neither of those cereals contains peanuts or peanut flour. Pay attention to the items that have actually been recalled:

4. Crap

We just bought some of those because our Clif bars were recalled.

5. Kraft is NOT recalling any products... e.g., Planters is OK

Just saw this:

Peanut Products Update

Kraft is NOT recalling any products in connection with the recent salmonella outbreak involving peanut products manufactured by Peanut Corporation of America’s (PCA), Blakely, GA, facility.

Neither we, nor our suppliers, purchase peanut products from the Blakely, GA, plant for use in Kraft products, including those sold in the U.S. or Canada under the Kraft, Nabisco and Planters brands.

Kraft's highest priority is the safety of our consumers, and we’re actively monitoring developments around the current recalls of peanut products. We are providing this information as suggested by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

For information about the PCA situation, your best source is the FDA website.

Consumers wishing to contact Kraft on this issue should call 800-308-1841.
