Kellogg Co. (K) is voluntarily recalling about 10,000 cases of
Eggo Nutri-Grain Whole Wheat Waffles because of potential listeria
contamination, but said it hasn't received any reports of
illness.
The recall, which followed routine testing, includes 10-count
packages with a UPC code of 38000 40370 and date codes of Nov. 21,
2017, or Nov. 22, 2017.
Listeria is a potentially deadly bacteria that generally doesn't
cause serious illnesses in healthy people but poses a threat to
pregnant women, newborns, older adults and people with weakened
immune systems.
This year's listeria-related recalls include a SunOpta Inc.
(STKL, SOY.T) recall of sunflower products, which led to similar
moves by makers of items like granola bars that included the
SunOpta ingredients. Over all, large recalls have included one by
General Mills Inc. (GIS) due to concerns about possible E. coli
contamination.
