****Kellogg is rationing its Eggo products due to flooding and equipment problems at two bakeries. The shortfall could last through mid-2010.

Better hoard your Eggos!

Grocery stores will be experiencing a shortage of the waffles until mid-2010 due to problems at two bakeries, a Kellogg's spokeswoman said on Wednesday.

Flooding at an Atlanta bakery during heavy rains in October forced Kellogg, which makes Eggo products, to shut down production temporarily, said company spokesman Kris Charles. Plus, equipment at Kellogg's largest waffle facility, based in Rossville, Tenn., needs extensive repairs.


"We are working around the clock to restore Eggo store inventories to normal levels as quickly as possible," Charles said in an e-mail.


Remaining inventory will be rationed to stores across the country "based on historical percentage of business.".......*****

gives a whole new meaning to "leggo my eggo"

What? No food in the stores,you say?

[plowjockey]

Horror of horrors, that people should mix up some batter and make their own!

Meijer brand is just as good, if you put enough syrup and butter on them they all taste the same.

I make my own. Whenever I bring out the waffle iron, I just do a gazillion of them and freeze. Homemade convenience. It's cheaper and I'm sure better for you.

I use eggos here for when we have to leave early and I didn't get a chance to make breakfast. The kids eat them without syrup anyway.

I have never had an Eggo..Never really found them appealing

[Ravenlost]

Yuck...they could just stop making them altogether as far as I'm concerned!

I have been told to buy them for work as the company won't buy me a waffle iron and they are a bit pricey for me to donate one to the house. I do tend to make pancakes and freeze them though I haven't since my one client passed away, they were the only thing she'd eat.

We make our own waffles but did notice that while I was at the store.
