Better let go of that Eggo.  Kellogg is pulling nearly 10-thousand cases of Eggo Nutri-Grain Whole Wheat Waffles because of concern over listeria contamination. Iowa is among the 25 states affected by the voluntary recall. The Listeria bacteria can be especially harmful to children, the elderly, pregnant women, and anybody with a weakened immune system.  Symptoms of infection include nausea, vomiting, weakness, severe headaches, and a high fever but are treatable with antibiotics.

The waffles are in a 10-count package with the UPC Code 38000 40370 and have a “Best if used by” date of Nov. 21 2017 or Nov. 22 2017. Kellogg advises people to throw the product away and ask for a refund. No illnesses have been reported and no other Eggo products have been affected.

The affected batches of waffles were distributed to customers and retailers in 25 states: CO, CT, DE, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, VA, VT, WI, WY.
