and how could you possibly give a gift of caramel apples this holiday season? They would just go into the trash. Are you going to explain to the receiver of the apple that QVC says they're safe, but the CDC doesn't?

Apples = the new ebola

Just to clarify for anyone who isn't clear on this (like the OP), as of this morning there is no "list" of affected companies. There are several companies named that are suspected but no list of good or bad products. In other words, no company has been declared to have a safe product. And that is why, at this time, the CDC is still saying to avoid all commercially produced caramel coated apples. BTW, "commercially produced" just means "made to be sold". It doesn't mean that Mrs. P.'s are OK because they claim they make them in small batches to order. Just FYI.

You're absolutely correct, and most of us understand this. The ones who aren't clear are choosing not to be.

The facts have been stated here up, down, and sideways. At this point, IMO, it's simply a matter of people choosing to educate themselves or not.

Your summary of the situation is perfect, and 100% accurate!

I agree, that's awkward to say the least.

Seems like the CDC is very slow on issuing information. It shouldn't be that difficult to list the suspect companies that made the apples that made people sick....if it was apples. I wonder if these companies typically all use some type of mix for their caramel?

It's a long and drawn out process.

It doesn't bother me that OP mis-spelled Prindable's. Sometimes I want to say Printables.

[scotttie]

QVC is still selling them.

I think she is too. Her posts don't make sense.

I think she is becoming more transparent in her motives with each of her posts.
