How does our food get so contaminated all the time? The lack of safety/safeguards in companies in our country is astonishing. We as a nation need to do better so that we’re putting things in place and setting higher standards with our food.

Agreed 100%!
Exactly it's really testing my patience
You’re exactly right. Check out the Netflix doc Poisoned. You’ll never want to eat American food again.
Yep, we are all just guinea pigs to them.
Are the products affected in Canada as well? I ate the oat cereal this morning…

Me and my children as well….. and we all had granola bars today too 🤦🏻♀️
I did research coming from being Canadian myself.. We have our own Quaker factory in Peterborough. We are safe.
I have this product. What do I do with it? Do I return it to Costco?

I would assume that’s the best course of action. Or maybe call Costco and see.
Does this include quaker oatmeal?
