Don't blame Kellogg for some news outlet's cut and paste job:





BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Sept. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Kellogg Company
today announced a voluntary recall of approximately 10,000 cases of
Kellogg's® Eggo® Nutri-Grain® Whole Wheat Waffles because they have the
potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. No other Eggo
products are impacted by this recall.

Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections
in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened
immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term
symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea,
abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages
and stillbirths among pregnant women.

The company has received no reports of illness to date but is taking
this action as part of its commitment to the health and safety of the
people who eat its foods.

HOW TO IDENTIFY THE RECALLED PRODUCT

(CO, CT, DE, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, ND, NE, NH, NJ,

that might be impacted and resolve the issue.
