Another Reason Not to Eat Junk: Pringles Recall

As if junk food wasn’t bad enough because of the high calorie content and unpronounceable ingredients, here’s another reason to avoid it. Procter & Gamble has announced the recall of two flavors of Pringles : Restaurant Cravers Cheeseburger and Family Faves Taco Night. The culprit is the widely used flavor enhancer hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) made by Basic Food Flavors, Inc. Investigators found dirty equipment and poor drainage at the Las Vegas plant and smelly, standing pools of liquid where the HVP was made.

What’s even worse - the liquid tested positive for salmonella. Um . . . eww. Pringles isn’t the only food to worry about . Hot dogs, chili, stews, gravies, sauces, soups, salad dressings, and other snack foods also contain HVP made from this company.
