Veggie Booty Recall

From Vincent Iannelli, M.D.,

A snack made with 'spinach and kale' is actually popular with kids? I wasn't familiar with this snack until now, but the FDA states that 'Veggie Booty is often consumed by children.'

Unfortunately, they are also stating that they shouldn't be eaten any more, at least for the time being, because Veggie Booty snacks are being recalled 'due to possible contamination with Salmonella.'

Call your pediatrician if your child has recently eaten Veggie Booty snacks and is developing any of the symptoms of a Salmonella infection, which parents are becoming all too familiar with, since there have been so many food recalls lately. Remember, that after eating contaminated food, kids can then develop symptoms within one to three or four days, such as diarrhea, which may be bloody, abdominal cramps, and fever.

According to the FDA, there have been 52 reports of Salmonella infections associated with Veggie Booty snacks, mostly in toddlers, since March 2007, and the outbreak is thought to be ongoing. If you have this snack in your home, be sure to throw it out.
