NORWALK, Conn. (AP) — Pepperidge Farm is voluntarily recalling four varieties of Goldfish Crackers because of fears they could potentially have salmonella.

The company on Monday took the action after one of its ingredient suppliers notified it that whey powder used in a seasoning may be contaminated. The products were distributed in the United States and no illnesses have been reported.

The Goldfish recall covers Flavor Blasted Xtra Cheddar, Flavor Blasted Sour Cream & Onion, Goldfish Baked with Whole Grain Xtra Cheddar and Goldfish Mix Xtra Cheddar + Pretzel. The company has posted a chart with the product codes on its website.

The products can be returned to place of purchase for a refund.

Consumers can call customer service at 800-679-1791.

Helping Kids Build A Relationship With Food Is Better Than Bribery

January 29, 2018 By My SD Moms

Getting kids to eat vegetables is a task that no parent looks forward to. There are the rare few children that actually like them, but that’s pretty far and few in between. So what can we do as parents short of forcing vegetables down their throats?

Some parents hide veggies in parts of meals that the child is more prone to eat, such as mashed potatoes or pizza. The most common, stricter approach is refusing to let them leave the table until their plates are clear. That one is usually a losing battle for everyone. One method that has become particularly common and popular is bribing the kids with money. Some parents go as far as creating bank accounts to deposit the child’s bribery money in. The problem with these methods is they usually don’t last. Eventually they are stopped for whatever reason and the child goes back to not eating veggies. Also the child ends up expecting monetary compensation for everything they do.

So what can you do instead? First and foremost, start early. Vegetables also must be offered frequently and try not to pressure the child. Try really hard not to get discouraged by the inevitable “no” because there will probably be one, or two…or three. Parents can lose hope after offering the same vegetables between three and five times, but, in reality, toddlers in particular might need up to 15 exposures.

You also need to let your children experience the food with all of their senses. Don’t “hide” vegetables and don’t care if they hold them with their hands, squeeze them and mush them. Let them build a positive relationship with the food. Reward systems are great in some cases, but in the long run…this will pay off much better. Most importantly is DON’T GIVE UP – be consistent and it WILL pay off.

Thanksgiving Foods to Avoid During Pregnancy

November 8, 2017 By My SD Moms

Thanksgiving seems like it’s the perfect pregnant holiday. Who’s going to give you a hard time when you’re eating for two? As you have your second helping of…well everything, nobody will judge you for it. Yep – unfortunately there is a down side. Why is there always a down side? Before you have fun gorging on everything in sight this Thanksgiving, remember that while pregnant, you are more susceptible to food poisoning than a non-pregnant person. You’re probably going to be pretty surprised and bummed when you hear what foods are off limits while pregnant.

Okay…this is a big one and huge NO NO while you’re pregnant and you’re not going to like it. No soft cheeses. Okay when your done screaming in disappointment, try to remember that soft cheeses like Brie, Camembert, feta, Mexican queso fresco, and blue-veined cheeses are often unpasteurized, which means they can harbor listeria (a particularly dangerous bacteria for pregnant women that can lead to miscarriage or pre-term labor).

I hate to be the barer of bad news, but stuffing cooked in the turkey is a real bad idea while pregnant. While the turkey is cooking, salmonella can seep into the stuffing. Now this might not be a problem for someone whose hormones aren’t going crazy from pregnancy, but for the expecting mom definitely not a good idea. You don’t have to give up stuffing, just don’t cook it in the turkey this year.

I know you don’t want to…but to read the rest of the list at Cafemoms…CLICK HERE!
