Captain Crunch Peanut Butter Crunch, Murrells Inlet, SC, USA
6 days ago •reported by user-kcdvz651
I ate a bowl of Peanut butter crunch cereal. Used to be my favorite. It didn't taste like it use to. Was off color, misshapen and didn't smell or taste like peanut butter! I made complaints to Quaker Oats. One employee told me that a manufacturer had
some problems and bad batches were out there. Then he was no longer allowed to speak with me. A cover up is currently going on. A Senior Escalation Specialist told me that Quaker Oats is not recalling any of this bad cereal. She denies that hundreds of others are making the same complaints. I can Not find a box of good Peanut butter Crunch. Quaker Oats refuses to send me a good box. I Don't think any exists. And I have a complaint with the FDA, but it's going slow. I plan to make as much noise about this as possible!!. I got it from Food Lion on the Garden City Connection in Murrell's Inlet, S.C. Both all stores in Murrell's Inlet have bad PB Crunch cereal. Piggly wiggly, Dollar General, Publix also.

My partner and I stopped in for lunch. We had a warm chicken sandwich and a cheeseburger which we split both in half. Hours later, we were both sick with severe bloating, extreme vomiting, and diarrhea. It lasted 12+ hours. I am certain the food poisoning came
from here, because of the timing and because we both shared the same meal for lunch, both of us with the same reaction. We are both ultra fit men and this knocked us out completely. We were ready to call 911 to get us to a hospital. It was severe.
