More fallout from the salmonella outbreak, which is a result of contamination at the Peanut Corp. of America plant in Georgia: Kellogg's has issued a voluntary recall of some Keebler Cookies and Special K Meal Bars.
It should be noted that these newly recalled products do not contain peanut butter, but the Keebler Cookies and Special K Meal Bars were made on "the same line" with other products that may include ingredients from Peanut Corp.
In other words, salmonella may have been transferred to these products because they were made in the same plant and on the same assembly line as other recalled products.
This is definitely a recall made "just to be safe."
The Keebler cookies included in the recall are Soft Batch Homestyle Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies in 2.5-ounce packages, with a "Best If Used Before" date before June 30. The cookies have UPC codes 3010032708 and 3010037899.
The Special K Protein Meal Bar recall includes only the Honey Almond flavor in 6-count and 8-count packages with a "Best If Used Before" date before Feb 1 2010. The bars have UPC codes 3800039778, 3800039935 and 3800039931.
Kellogg's also expanded its recall of previously listed products to include all code dates. These include more Austin and Keebler Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers, snack-size packs of Famous Amos Peanut Butter Cookies and Keebler Soft Batch Homestyle Peanut Butter Cookies.
