Nesquik recalled, may have Salmonella

I loved it as a kid, but who knew Nesquik could contain Salmonella?

One of the ingredients is food-grade limestone – or calcium carbonate — which is often used for texture and color in chocolates, cream fillings, frostings and chewing gum.

Expect the number of recalled products to grow exponentially – sorta like when dried Salmonella becomes moist.

Nestle USA said Thursday that it is recalling Nesquik sold in its 10.9, 21.8 and 40.7-ounce canisters across the country in early October. The affected products have an expiration date of October 2014.

There have been no reported illnesses, but children across the U.S. are gutted.
