The FDA announced this weekend that they've tracked 14 cases of food poisoning involving the same strain of salmonella that the Malt o' Meal company found in its puffed cereals earlier this month. The company issued a "voluntary" recall after finding the bacteria in their product during routine testing.
So far there's no word on how the salmonella got into the cereal. The process of puffing cereal involves heating it, then pressurizing it. So it seems that the product must have been contaminated between the time it was manufactured and the time it was packaged. Maybe someone wasn't washing their hands...
Can't blame this on on the Chinese.
