Talon Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Feeling sad & concerned. I have 2 greys & an amazon; I give them toasted frozen waffles cut into bit size pieces for breakfast along with some toast every morning in their cages before I go to work. I just saw the waffle recall for frozen waffles including the brand I use. It can take up to 70 days before you see symptoms, I am worried... I hope they don't have any issues from this, but I won't know for over 3 months...this definitely worries me. I buy them when they go on sale & stock up, it is a daily staple for them...:/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytness Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Are you able to research the SKUs being recalled and compare those to what you have? Hopefully all will be okay. Fingers crossed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted October 22 Author Share Posted October 22 Yes, I have already done that. Part of my job at work is being Certified Food Safety, so I get all the latest recalls from the FDA as soon as they come out. I did check the Lot codes & Many boxes I have in my freezer are on the recall list. My parrots were not happy to not have waffles today. I may have to try the Eggo's, they are made from a different company and not part of the recall. although they don't prefer those for some reason... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted October 22 Author Share Posted October 22 Thanks for not scolding me as so many FB groups did about feeding them waffles. They DO get a veggie mix & healthy food every day. This is just a breakfast treat with the other foods I mentioned. Getting so beat up elsewhere I appreciate not getting beat up here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Prayers that your birds are unaffected. Keep you chin up and believe for the best! Scary stuff though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted October 22 Author Share Posted October 22 Cooking does kill listeria, also they were not all listeria positive, it was just a chance..so I am feeling better today that they should be ok. It's listeria mono that is the problem, not listeria species as much 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNCAG Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Hoping your parrots are just fine. An aside, I heard a new mother's tip years ago about giving a piece of frozen waffle to infants who are teething -- apparently it's coldness is soothing to chew/gnaw on. I mean, those are NOT cooked first. And wow, what a LONG list of recalls. Yeeesh. Hope all are safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSeedBurners Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Sorry to hear about the recall. Found it humorous that your birds have you feeding them frozen waffles and only a certain brand. Who's running that show anyway?!? My birds have me trained on Honey Grahams. And we call them 'cookies' around here. They go wild when I ask 'who wants a cookie?'. GreycieMae will hang from the cabinet door where the cookies are stored. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Well, I went thru all the 8 boxes I have in my freezer ( I buy them when they are on sale) Only 2 boxes have a matching lot code, the rest are not on the 18 page recall list, so I think I'm good. I did buy the Eggo's brand yesterday for today's breakfast. I'll see how well they went over when I go home from work today.. It's funny how well they have us trained! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
