Ego Waffles recalled amid listeria fears

Summary: About 10,000 cases of Eggos Waffles have been voluntarily recalled in over 25 states. This is happening because they have been contaminated with listeria. Listeria is a bacteria that can cause many diseases and infections in young children as well as elderly or anyone with a slightly weak immune system. This bacteria can cause fever, headache, stomach pain, and diarrhea. They have discovered that not all Eggo Waffles have this bacteria it's just the ones that's are the Eggo Nutri-Grain Whole Wheat Waffles.
Analysis: This is not a surprise to many people. Sadly this has been happening to many company's in the last 5-10 years or so. For example, we all remember what happened to Blue Bell ice cream, Betty Crocker actually had to stop sales there cake mixes for awhile because they had reports of E. coli outbreak, also Generaal Mills had to stop sailing there Cake Mix because they too found E. coli in the mix. I think we really need to get a handle on this because we can prevent it. That's means we can work harder to find anything before we let it sit in our selves of the grocery stores.
