Following cases of salmonellosis with trace-back to Quaker oats products the Company has expanded their previously announced December 15^th recall to include CAP’n Crunch and Quaker cereal bars.

In recent years, Salmonella contamination of flour has emerged as a problem suggesting that this pathogen may be introduced into poultry mash feeds from wheat middlings or other non- animal protein ingredients as confirmed by appropriate quality assurance assays. If present, the use of additives incorporating organic acids should be considered to suppress suppress bacterial proliferation in feed. This will reduce the level of contamination in mixing and conveying installations, holding bins, delivery trailers, farm silos and feeding systems.
