So my wife goes into Brent’s Deli yesterday (knowing full-well how I feel about that place) for lunch with her mom. She was told she couldn’t be seated until her entire party was present.

Kelloggs (Eggo)

It began on August 31st, with from the Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) notifying the Kellog company that it’s Atlanta, Georgia plant, “of a positive test for Listeria monocytogenes in your Eggo Buttemilk Waffles identified with a Better If Used Before date beginning with NOV17 10 EAAM1.” This led to a nationwide recall on Eggo waffles and quickly the shelves of store brand waffles were empty as supply could not ramp up fast enough to meet demand.
