Killer Soup from Kroger


Lions & Tigers & Onion Soup, oh my!
.
In a disturbing turn of events Kroger has issued a recall of 2 Onion Soup & Dip Mixes in many states (full recall data here).
.
Quoting from MSNBC we get these details.
.
The grocer said an ingredient in its Kroger Onion Soup & Dip Mix and Kroger Beefy Onion Soup & Dip Mix may have been contaminated with the bacteria.
No illnesses have been reported in connection with the products. But eating food contaminated with salmonella can cause salmonellosis, a potentially life-threatening bacterial foodborne illness.
.
I have essentially 2 problems with this.
.
1) Deadly Soup Mix? Really?
.
2) Who makes Beefy Onion Dip? Beefy Onion Soup - sure, but BEEFY Onion Dip. No. That is wrong with or without Salmonella.
