    FYI It’s the vendor that target and Walmart use for their house brands, same with Aldi, not Eggo, for example

    Ooof. TreeHouse foods is in a world of hurt. Listeria is incredibly hard to get rid of in a factory. It usually means shutting down the entire operation until everything is thoroughly steam -cleaned and sanitized. Then, an inspection team will go through the entire factory and swab everything with a q-tip. And I mean everything. Every little nook and cranny. If any of these samples comes back positive, the whole routine starts over again. It can take weeks.

    I’ve known factories that literally choose to shut the entire plant down and build a new one rather than try to sanitize the one they had.

    Listeria is no joke

    I think at this point it’s probably easier to just list which foods don’t have listeria these days.

      As someone who recently bought Eggo waffles and was worriedly reading the article: you can keep your hands off my Eggo, it was store brand stuff that was affected.

    Eh, probably needed to cut back on monocalcium phosphate, sodium aluminium phosphate, and mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids anyhow.
