Snackwells Creme Cookies Made Me Dizzy

Posted Mon July 16, 2007 12:00 pm, by Debra B. written to Nabisco, Inc.

After consuming Snackwells creme cookies I would experience dizziness.
I have consumed this product on many occasions and have not ever experienced this condition.

It took a couple days to identify what was making me feel sick (dizzy, light headed). I narrowed it down to the cookies after feeling well and then eating the cookies on two different occasions (days) with the same results.

I would like for Nabisco to conduct an investigation to ensure that the product has not been exposed to contamination. I have two multipacks of these cookies, one at home and the other at work. The lot number of the one I have at work is KE32, expiration Jan. 2008. I do not have the lot number of the multipack at home available at this moment, but I can retreive it.

Eeek, get thee to the doctor! I hope that it is just the cookies, but
I agree with the other posters who advise you to get a check up...just
in case you have something else going on with your body!

Take care!

i have learned the hard way that i simply cannot tolerate maple syrup.
the sugar concentration is simply too high. it makes me jittery and
shaky. it's not the fault of aunt jemina or mrs. buttersworth. it's
the fact that my body can't tolerate the sugar. i suspect it's the
same with you. i suggest you stop eating the cookies. if you have
two multipacks of these cookies, i sense some cookie abuse at work
here.

(dizzy, light headed) is sex. I consumed this product on many
occasions with other people, and the sickness seems to depend on who
the other person is. To test this hypothesis, I checked on two recent
occasions (different days) and had the same results: sick.

I would like the surgeon general or the secretary of whatever to look
into this.

ps I have dreamt of trying a multipack of the product, but haven't
dared to do it yet.

I just saw a news clip about the USDA and the poor inspection of
products and the safety of the food chain. So I can see someone
thinking contamination as the issue, and its good to bring up that
possibility.

But

I'd have to agree with those who suggest speaking with a doctor. This
could be some kind of blood sugar disorder OR a possible allergy to
something in the product.

Merry-Go-Rounds! Happens everytime. Why is that Snackwell? Please
help me! The lot number was WAy2mUChFun, or something like that.

Thanks for the laugh. This is really hysterical!

"I have consumed this product on many occasions"

"I have two multipacks of these cookies, one at home and the other at
work."


Have you ever thought that maybe you are eating too many cookies and
that you are becoming diabetic?

Yes, I know snackwells are supposed to be lower in fat and sugar but
seriously... a cookie is a cookie and having "multipacks" at home and
at work suggests to me that maybe you should choose a healthier
alternative and I also recommend seeing a doctor and having a
fasting/non-fasting blood sugar lever test.

My husband was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic at age 32, after years
of drinking too much soda at his desk and at home playing computer
games and I hate seeing him suffer the way he does now.

I am not trying to judge you, only trying to help you, I hate it when
companies make you think cookies can be healthy so you can eat more
and be ok, it is just not true.

I've never eaten Snackwell cookies, so I can't really relate. I would
suggest that you see your doctor.

You should probably see your doctor. Bring the cookies with you.

I agree with the others who said it more than likely is a reaction to
one or more ingredients or the amount of the ingredient in this
particular cookie.

Some snackwells make me dizzy too. But I react to sugar. It's
possible that batch has something in it, or they made it with too much
sugar. ON the other hand, you may want to check with your doctor to
see how your own blood sugar is.

If you are used to eating this particular product many times like you
say and it's a once I could see but two lot numbers and I think they
changed the product, upped the sugar or your own body is reacting.
Check the ingredients too with other packages of the same in different
lots.

Good luck, I hope you get a response from them.

I wonder if the OP is otherwise avoiding sugar in her diet. I have
been attempting to maintain a low-sugar diet, but occasionally indulge
in a carbonated drink. Upon drinking a can of Coca-Cola last week, I
experienced a slight dizziness.

I have wondered if the sudden intake of sugar affected me in some way.

I'm glad you wrote the letter Debra! The dizziness may or may not
have been caused by the cookies, but at least you've brought it to the
companies attention. That way if other customers are experiencing the
same kind of reaction, they can check into it. I'm not sure why
other's feel the need to belittle you but I see nothing wrong with
enjoying cookies. And it also doesn't appear as if you have continued
to eat the cookies, at least not since you found that it was the
cookies causing the dizziness.

Maybe you should try a healthier snack? Like carrot sticks or
something.
