Mrs. Prendable Apples are NOT on the List!!!!!

Plaid Pants — Sun, 21 Dec 2014 03:07:52 GMT

People seem to be confused, or just have read the complete notice put out by QVC, regarding their Mrs. Prendable Apples.

It clearly states that Mrs. Prendable is NOT on the list.

I'll say it again, Mrs. Prendable is NOT on the list.

I bought a package, and I ate one apple, and gave the rest to my co-workers as a Christmas treat.

Guess what?

NOBODY GOT SICK!!!!!

Why?

Because,

MRS. PRENDABLE'S APPLES ARE NOT ON THE LIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caution is still needed because the tainted ingredient has not been identified. Therefore, it cannot be known that all of Mrs. P's ingredients are safe. It is not possible at this time to determine which brands are safe and which are not because the bad ingredient is still a mystery.

It was stated that it can take seventy days before anyone falls ill.

Did you check it twice?

The CDC hasn't made a list of ""safe"" apples.

They only have a list of the ones they know for sure right now are identified as bad. But there's no list of safe ones. It's too soon.

I wouldn't play Russian Roulette with caramel apples.

I tossed a couple I had been given because I didn't want to wait 70 days to find out

Read the complete notice put out by the CDC which states to avoid commercially produced pre-packaged caramel coated apples. Mrs. Prindables has not been cleared by the CDC. Mrs. Prindables claims that their apples have not been identified as tainted with listeria. Until the CDC identifies the source of the contamination whether it is the fruit, caramel or the toppings, it is very unwise to assume that any of these apples are 100% in the clear. I would listen to the CDC not the QVC.

2 different local newscasts said to avoid commercially prepared caramel apples.

If I were the OP I'd call my co-workers and make sure they know there is still a possibility they could get sick. 70 days is a lengthy period of time.

I tossed the batch I received Thursday and was given a refund.

Why would anyone take a chance?

I received a refund and tossed my apples. My motto is better be safe than sorry.

I read that it's the caramel -

Maybe. But several ingredients are in caramel. Which of the ingredients in the caramel is tainted? Which producers use that ingredient?

The OP is correct. Of course, it appears many responders here prefer hysteria an panic to rational thought.

I wonder how the CDC came to the conclusion it was caramel apples? I assume a lot of people ate caramel apples between the dates of 10/17 & 11/27... Myself included. The Affy Tapple outlet is near me and I was going to go there next week. They also sell Mrs. Prindables caramel apples there since they are the same company.

The CDC website doesn't have a list of safe company apples as of today...they specifically say they have not identified the source of contamination yet and it could be the apples themselves. It can take up to 70 days to become sick! It has occurred in 10 states with 5 deaths so far! I wouldn't eat any company's caramel apples until they identify the source of the infection. It's not worth the risk to me and I would feel terrible if someone got sick from an apple that I served them. I have sympathy for the companies who make these apples since this is probably their high volume time of the year.

What a mess for ALL companies that sell these apples. QVC has a refund for all products; I would not take the chance of giving, serving to guests, or eating them. I would absolutely expect my money refunded.

I wouldn't take a chance....I don't buy them...but if I had ...they would be thrown out and I would ask for a refund...

Okay, I have to chime in here and ask the OP ~ What's with all the capitalization, bold, underlining & excessive exclamation marks? Am I writing to Mrs. Prindable herself perhaps? Highly unlikely. You wrote in this same manner on another thread that I have already commented on. Therefore, I am not going to repeat myself as you obviously are. But I will say this ~ I am not confused as you are referring in your original post. I am concerned as I'm sure many others are on this board. I find the "fear & hysteria" remarks highly insulting. Last time I checked five people have died because of this. Are the refunds people are requesting coming out of your pocket?

And if I may quote you (hope you don't mind), I'll repeat it again! For the love of mud! It's PRINDABLE with an I, not PRENDABLE with an E! There. I don't feel as hysterical now.

Thank-you, KYToby!

I am not seeing hysteria. Until the tainted ingredient is identified, it's not possible to say what's safe and what isn't. That is rational and logical.
