I’m getting little Veggie Booty themed love notes from Amazon.com. Here’s what they sent me.
Greetings from Amazon.com.
We have recently learned that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers not to eat Veggie Booty flavor snack food, marketed by Robert’s American Gourmet, due to possible contamination with Salmonella Wandsworth, bacteria that cause gastrointestinal illness.
Our records indicate that you have purchased the Veggie Booty snack food through the Amazon.com website and are therefore affected by this recall. FDA advises consumers to throw away any Robert’s American Gourmet brand Veggie Booty they have in their home. Veggie Booty is sold in a flexible plastic foil bag in four ounce, one ounce, and one-half ounce packages. No other flavors or varieties of snack food marketed by Robert’s American Gourmet have been associated with Salmonella Wandsworth contamination.
Veggie Booty is often consumed by children, so parents are encouraged to watch their children, and seek medical care if they observe signs of illness.
Individuals who have recently eaten Veggie Booty and who have experienced any of the symptoms described below should contact a doctor or other health care provider immediately. Any such illnesses in persons with a recent history of eating Veggie Booty should be reported to state or local health authorities.

Ok… so I’m all into the recall thing, I appreciate the thoroughness, etc. I just have one question. When are they going to put it back on the market? (And please, Amazon…. do not stop carrying this stuff by the case. You are the only one that sells it by the case. And yes…. she consumes enough of this nasty, green trash that I do need to buy it BY THE CASE! Just sayin’.)
