Robert's American Gourmet Veggie Tings Crunchy Corn Sticks Can Make You Sick!

Seems like every day brings news of yet another food product that's been contaminated with one toxic organism or another and today is no different.

Wednesday's poisoned food is Robert's American Gourmet Veggie Tings Crunchy Corn Sticks and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is warning the public that the popular snack food may be laced with Salmonella. This particular snack food is a product of the United States and reports indicate 54 cases of salmonella poisoning in 17 U.S. states after eating the veggie corn sticks. No adverse effects have been confirmed in Canada so far.

The recall affects all sizes and codes of Robert's American Gourmet Veggie Tings Crunchy Corn Sticks which are available for purchase nationally as well as through the internet, phone orders and mail orders.

This recall is an expanded version of the original issued on June 28, 2007 which focused on Veggie Booty snack food after it was determined that a seasoning made with imported Chinese ingredients was contaminated with Salmonella.

For more information, Canadian consumers and industry can call the CFIA at 1-800-442-2342 / TTY 1-800-465-7735 (8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern time, Monday to Friday).
