Okay, so here’s the deal – there’s a bit of drama going on lately about some yogurt-covered pretzels possibly having salmonella. Not a great situation!
The recall was announced on May 10, but it wasn’t until June 12 that the FDA was like, “Uh-oh, this is serious” and upped it to a Class 1 recall, which is a pretty big deal.
When a recall reaches Class 1, it means things could get pretty serious health-wise if you eat those contaminated pretzels. And yeah, it could lead to some severe consequences.
The FDA cautioned that salmonella could be lurking in the yogurt coatings on those pretzels, potentially causing unpleasant symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Not a pleasant scenario!
Salmonella is no joke, especially for susceptible individuals like babies, older adults, or those with weak immune systems. It can really hit them hard.
But, before you stress out, no illnesses from these pretzels have been reported yet, says the FDA. So, the situation is still unfolding.
If you’ve got these pretzels and you’re side-eyeing them now, it might be best to toss them, as per the FDA’s advice. Better safe than sorry, right?
Turns out, the issue stems from the yogurt coating on the pretzels. So, until they figure out what went wrong, no more pretzels for anyone!
Hey, it’s not just pretzels making headlines. The FDA also recalled some other snacks from Palmer Candy Company in May. Seems like salmonella is causing quite a stir in the snacking scene!
And for all you parents out there, brace yourselves – the FDA recently bumped up a baby formula recall to Class 1. Scary stuff!
According to FDA info, 2023 has seen over 700 Class 1 recalls so far. It’s been quite a rollercoaster in the realm of food safety, hasn’t it?
