Special K Bars Recall
On February 2, 2009, Special K bars and certain Keebler cookies were added to the recall list. Although no illnesses were reported, the company recalled honey almond flavored Special K Protein Meal Bars, and Keebler Soft Batch Homestyle Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. The products do not contain peanut butter, but were made in the same facility and on the same production line as contaminated products.Detroit Free Press: Kellogg recalls cookies, protein bars (February 3, 2009)Salmonella Recall
In January 2009, the CDC reported outbreaks of salmonella occurring from peanut butter associated with the Peanut Corporation of America. While the PCA doesn't sell directly to consumers, they sell to industrial clients, such as Kellogg's. Because of the recall of their King Nut brand of peanut butter, used in Kellogg's cookies, Kellogg's has urged consumers not to eat the Austin and Keebler brand peanut butter cookies until further information is uncovered.CNN.com: Kellogg warns not to eat its peanut butter crackers (January 14, 2009)Founding
Kellogg's was founded February 19, 1906, by William Kellogg as an outgrowth of his work with his brother John Harvey Kellogg at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, a combination hospital and health spa for the elite and famous. The company was grounded in practices based in the Seventh-day Adventist Christian denomination. The company produced and marketed the hugely successful Kellogg's Toasted Corn Flakes and was renamed the Kellogg Company in 1922.The Wheat Flake
Cereal flaking was discovered by W.K. Kellogg and his brother John Harvey Kellogg by mistake while in the process of cooking some wheat for a type of granola. After discovering that the wheat had gone stale the brothers decided to force the grain through the rollers anyway. Surprisingly, each wheat berry was flattened and came out as a thin flake. Kellogg continued experimenting and developed the process for flaking corn, thus creating the cornerstone of what was to be the "Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company".-
