Campbell Soup Co. is recalling nearly 15 million pounds of canned SpaghettiOs with meatballs because of possible under-processing, the U.S. agriculture department said.
The recall includes 14.75-ounce cans with a use-by date between June 2010 and December 2011 of three varieties of the product: "SpaghettiOs with Meatballs," "SpaghettiOs A to Z with Meatballs" and "SpaghettiOs Fun Shapes with Meatballs (Cars)."
The cans were produced in Paris, Texas, between December 2008 and June 2010, and shipped to retail customers nationwide, according to Campbell Soup.
The company discovered the problem during a routine warehouse inspection and investigation, the Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service said.
Well this is just terrible isn't it? These delicious soggy noodles, ketchup, and meat lumps are being recalled, which is awful because I love my low grade meat lumps. What I find most interesting is the production date of the cans being recalled. Anything produced from 2008 to present is dangerous to eat. That means for 2 1/2 years they've been undercooking their meat. During a routine inspection someone walks by the meat and says, "Hey did you guys know that we haven't been cooking the meat?" Clearly there are some quality cooks working over there at the Campbell Soup Co.
What ever happened to spaghettios anyway? I feel like I haven't seen or heard anything about them in the last 10 years. There used to be commercials with a cool 90's style noodle that would skate around the classroom throwing high quality products to all of the children. I always found that much more terrifying and dangerous than cool. Imagine you are in fourth grade and someone mentions they have spaghettios. The next thing you know a 7 foot circular noodle starts grinding and kick flipping around the room, all the while spiking heaving cans at you and your terrified classmates. But hey, at least the meatballs were cooked back then.
