Recall: Veggie Booty Contaminated by Salmonella

"A Sea Cliff food company said Thursday it was recalling a snack called Veggie Booty because it had been alerted by the federal government of possible salmonella contamination.

Robert's American Gourmet Food, Inc. said it was recalling all lots and sizes of Veggie Booty, which is distributed nationwide and in Canada through local distributors, Internet sales, phone orders, mail orders and retail outlets. The announcement did not say how much product was affect.

Veggie Booty is sold in a flexible plastic foil bag in half-ounce, one-ounce and four-ounce packages.

Robert's said it had been notified by the Food and Drug Administration and the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of 51 cases of salmonella in 17 states related to the consumption of the Veggie Booty, mostly children three years or younger."

It's too bad this had to happen because it pretty much tarnishes the reputation of the company and the snack. They should have been way more careful. I personally won't be buying Booty anytime soon, even though it's so readily available at Whole Foods and Wild Oats.
