The West Side Soldiers Aide Society was just trying to help Marines fighting in Afghanistan, but they soon learned the care packages they sent were likely filled with contaminated food.

MILWAUKEE - "We just wanted to pack, nutritious, helpful items," Patricia Lynch of the West Side Soldiers Aide Society said about sending care packages to Marines in Afghanistan. When the group got word the troops were losing weight, they packed 50 boxes full of high protein food, including peanut butter crackers and peanut butter granola bars. "Almost a third were those kind of items," Lynch said. That was before the holidays, and before the salmonella outbreak. The group says Sam's Club, where they bought the items in bulk, emailed and called their members to let them know the products they bought were among the batches that were likely contaminated with salmonella after peanut butter products were recalled.
