Veggie Booty salmonella confirmed by FDA

Looks like the FDA has determined in definitive fashion that the Veggie Booty snack chips which were recalled by the manufacturer two weeks ago did in fact contain the salmonella bacteria that has caused dozens of illnesses across the nation.

The cause of the recall came from seasoning ingredients imported from China (no surprise), as Robert's Gourmet had purchased the seasoning used on the chips from Atlantic Quality Spice and Seasonings. Not so much quality was intact with the company's QC, apparently.

Although one lawsuit has been connected with the recall so far, and 61 people have become sick due to the tainted chips, no one has died from the contamination.
