I Bet That Was MMM MMM Good!

How much you want to bet that you've already eaten one of the cans in this recall? I know I have! Of course, whenever I eat something like this, I always take multiple vitamins to make sure I supplement for the lack of eating properly.

Campbell Soup Co. is recalling 15 million pounds of SpaghettiOs with meatballs after a cooker malfunctioned at one of the company's plants in Texas and left the meat undercooked.

The Agriculture Department announced the recall late Thursday. Campbell spokesman Anthony Sanzio said the company is recalling certain lots of the product manufactured since December 2008 "out of an abundance of caution" because officials don't know exactly when the cooker at the Paris, Texas, plant malfunctioned. Officials believe it happened recently but aren't sure, he said.

The meatballs that went through the cooker did not get the requisite amount of heat, according to the company.

All cans manufactured since December 2008. Who keeps food that long?

Chocolate Ice Cream Recalled

If you bought chocolate ice cream at Kroger recently you will want to read this. Plus, if you were using your fitness equipment and eating the way you should be, you wouldn't be eating that ice cream in the first place.

The Kroger Co. said today it is recalling select containers of Kroger Deluxe Chocolate Paradise Ice Cream sold in 17 states because it may contain tree nuts not listed on the label. Customers should return the product to stores for a full refund or replacement.

People who are allergic to tree nuts could have a serious or life-threatening reaction if they consume this product. For consumers who are not allergic to tree nuts, there is no safety issue with the product.

The product was sold in Kroger stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.

The recall also includes Jay C, Food 4 Less, Hilander, Owen’s, Pay Less and Scott’s stores in Illinois and Indiana. Other stores Kroger operates under different banner names are not included in this recall.

Is this the brand you purchased? If so, click over to the FDA website for more details.

Cadmium Tainted Glasses

Heads up people. Those adorable drinking glasses from McDonald's can kill you, or at least make you really sick!

Around 12 million Shrek drinking glasses were yesterday recalled by McDonald's because they are covered by a toxic paint.

The glasses, a promotion for the latest Shrek film, were available in the U.S. in four designs depicting the characters Shrek, Princess Fiona, Puss in Boots and Donkey.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which announced the voluntary recall, warned customers to stop using the glasses – which have the metal cadmium in the paint – immediately.
