Is the Quaker Aunt Jemima Product Recall a Scam?

Quaker Oats announced on March 4 that it's recalling some Aunt Jemima pancake mix products from 17 states due to fear of salmonella poisoning... (Blah, blah, blah...) Nobody's sick. (Blah, blah, blah....) Only 2% of suspect mixes are unaccounted for. (Blah, blah, blah....) Click here to read Quaker details if you'd like.

Why in the world is Quaker releasing an article into the news about a product that has not made anybody sick, with only 2% of the boxes missing into warehouses, and with those food warehouses divided over 17 states?

In my opinion alone, this has got to be a scam.

My family will continue to eat our Aunt Jemima pancakes, and we will continue to eat all recalled foods if the news articles about the recall looks as silly as this Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix one does to me.

Quaker is looking for just 2 boxes of Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix, out of each 100 in this recall lot, that are hiding somewhere in a 17 state food warehouse area. And, nobody is sick. This recall is being done without knowing if the product will hurt you or not. This sends my bright red flags flying high.

When news of a food recall is made public, many people throw out good food that they must go spend money to replace. Pepsi owns Quaker (and others). Quaker owns Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix (and others). With the Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix food recall scare, as boxes of food go into the trash, we go to the store and fill our carts up with:

Pepsi, Fritos, Oatmeal, Lay's, Rustler Meat Snacks, Tropicana Juices, Hostess, Cracker Jack, Grandmas Cookies, Doritos, Ruffles, Smartfood Popcorn, Life Cereal, Cap'n Crunch, King Vitamin, Grits, Puffed Wheat, Rice-A-Roni, Rice Squares, Granola Bars, Gatorade, Fitness Water, Sobe, Mt. Dew, Dole Juices, Lipton Tea, and more.

Pepsi-Quaker-Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix get money for each extra trip to the grocery store that they can talk us into making. People don't just exchange a bad box of Aunt Jemima - they pick-up various things while at the store. People try different products to replace Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix, but the end money all goes to the same place
