Those things make me sick even without the added salmonella...

Who the hell spends their hard earning money on highly processed packed crap like this anyway?

I vote that the manufacturer send me all of the food involved and I will dispose of it at my leisure. Little salmo' never hurt anyone!

Oh man, we have a whole row of these in the vending machine. I just called the vending people to come and pull them tomorrow and put a note on the machine so no one eats them.

My boss ate a whole bunch of them already.

cheese and peanut butter sandwiches? that's nasty. maybe the samonella is supposed to make it taste good?

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Crackers? Where can I get such a marvel of modern technology?

I love that the comments are evenly divided between "Who would eat something so horrible?" and "Where do I find these wonderful things?" Dietarily diverse, that's us.

@tracilyns:

For some reason I always picture some kind of fish paste spread when people say Salmonella. "Care for a little bit of salmonella on your sandwhich honey?" "Sure, and pass me a bit of salmonella, I'd like to spread a little on these crackers with cheese."

The bad thing for me was I had taken my first bite of a Keebler Cheese and Peanut Butter Cracker pack when I read about this earlier today...

@HogwartsAlum: Well, I guess you'll all find out soon!

@Graham Kilmon: and yes, i finshed them

@Saboth: You mean besides the 1000 or so documented deaths a year, right?

@SabreDC:

I know. . . I told him and he said he and the wife ate some already today. He said, "Should I tell her?" And I said, "I would wait until you get home!"

I do like those things. Way back in college, we used to live on the wheat and cheese ones because we didn't have time to eat lunch.

That and Hardee's $1 ham and cheese sammishes.

@tracilyns: I haven't had them for years, but I do remember them actually being pretty good.

Man, I am a sucker for snack crackers. Like, any flavor. Peanut butter on cheese, smoked swiss on wheat, you give 'em to me, I'll eat 'em. Hope this isn't a recall. xD

Oh man, I just had some of the toasted peanut butter ones with my lunch. Well... I'll let y'all know how I'm feeling in a few hours.

I've had a Sam's Club box of these in my desk drawer at work for a couple of weeks... figure if I haven't died yet from 'em, I probably won't. At least not suddenly.

I have a Costco size box I've been eating for a quick breakfast all month. Super...

Walmart pulled all of their Austin crackers as a precautionary measure.

and I find out about this just as I'm eating the last cracker in the package. :)

@darkjedi26: me too. i've been fine so far so i'm gonna risk it?

I blame those dirty dirty elves

I have some of the austin brand in my desk drawer. this article has inspired me to eat a pack. i'll let you all know how it turns out.

@ludwigk: Meh, still safer than Iraq or driving in a car.

@HogwartsAlum:

Three Day Weekend, WOO HOO

i like how this post inspires people to eat the crackers they have instead of throwing them out...I commend you all.

is this some sort of viral marketing by kellogg's to get people to eat more of this stuff?

just saying...more people are admitting to eating them now as opposed to leaving them be

@Saboth: LOL, post of the year

Noooooo! I just ate a package of Austin Chocolatey Peanut Butter crackers this morning. And yesterday morning. And practically every other morning. I have a box of them in my bottom desk drawer. They are what ties me over when it's too early for lunch. I don't feel sick yet....

@yankerosa: They are delicious. It's peanut butter on a cracker. Nothing weird about that.

@Graham Kilmon: You have eaten salmonella peanut butter. Prepare to die.

@tracilyns: Grilled peanut butter cheese sandwiches were a staple of my childhood. Delicious!

@techgoddess: This is a recession!

@tracilyns: Cheese crackers and peanut butter. Basically, Cheez-Its and peanut butter. They're pretty good in my opinion but I love Cheetos and peanut butter so maybe I am weird.

I just finished the last cracker in my Austin Peanut Butter cracker pack as I clicked on this headline. No Joke!

All the debate about "they're delicious" vs. "they're gross" aside, isn't it nice to see a company issue a warning earlier rather than later? So many of the stories here have been about companies covering up stuff like this until someone makes them come clean. At least this story is about a company being proactive and letting us know about the potential problem as they begin their investigation.

@yankerosa:

I use to when I had swimming at 6am. At five in the morning I'm too out of it to pack a snack. These are some of the least disgusting things in the vending machine.

@yankerosa: Hey! My Mom eats these!

I wonder if Lance peanut butter crackers are effected

@theblackdog: *affected

Damn, no more beer for me

@yankerosa: Yes, but it's really tasty highly processed packed crap. And plus they are like $1.50 for a pack of 8 where I live...which is a good deal when they are, you know, salmonella-free (usually!).

@discounteggroll: Yes followed by the good old too much demand and not enough supply trick. I better stock up and start selling for inflated prices on eBay...

wow, i was actually at the store yesterday and those were on sale specifically at the end of the isle. :]

@yankerosa: Who wastes their precious time typing all that out when "I AM BETTER THAN YOU" gets right to the point?

We should all be grateful that the system is -

FUCQUE FUCQUE FUCQUE FUCQUE FUCQUE FUCQUE FUCQUE FUCQUE

I have been eating these for 2 days. I bought them a week ago at CVS because they were only a dollar per pack of eight. CVS... off loading tainted stock? Who knows? But still that is the last day of meetings that I neglect my precious internets. To top it off I just became sick, it better be the flu.

I still have one of the non eaten packages next to me... it looks tempting......

@theblackdog:

I've eaten a few packs this week, and yet I survive!

@xredgambit:

No such luck . . .they're fine today. ;)
