Bootylicious — or poopylicious?

Robert’s American Gourmet has been notified by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of 51 cases of Salmonella across 17 states, associated or related to the consumption of the Veggie Booty, predominately in children of three years of age or younger. Based on the information provided by the CDC and FDA Robert’s American Gourmet has decided to conduct this recall as a precautionary measure, even though there are no confirmed positive results in the finished product yet.

Veggie Booty is a delicious snack that you and your family will love, made from the finest ingredients, and contains a blend of spinach, kale, cabbage, carrots and broccoli. The company says, " This is a life-changing snack that will help you eat healthier."

Others say, "Veggie Booty is basically crack for babies. Which is exactly why parents buy it. … It smells funkier than poop, has questionable nutritional value and leaves a trail of bright green powder in its wake."

And in 2002, the Good Housekeeping Institute suggested the Booty was junk food in disguise.
