With the problem of salmonella covering so many states, Kellogg has issued a warning about its peanut butter crackers:
“The Kellogg Co. announced Wednesday it is recommending that consumers not eat its peanut butter crackers because they may be tainted with salmonella.
…”Kellogg Company’s investigation has not indicated any concerns, nor has the company received any consumer illness complaints about these products,” the Kellogg statement said.”
