As the new year begins, concerns over food safety have arisen with the Quaker Oats recall. The Quaker Oats Company, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, has recently expanded its recall due to potential contamination with salmonella bacteria.

How on earth do oats get contaminated with salmonella?

Not one news article explains how it happened.

Half of all US chickens are infected with salmonella, which is at the heart of food safety…but oats?

It's a bunch of food bars that were recalled (and Munchies snack mix), so it could have been a shared ingredient or some equipment which wasn't cleaned well enough between change-overs.

Their standard oat products are not affected.
