Health related recalls

Because it sems like everything we eat, drink, breath and do is trying to kill us. Seems wise to try to keep track.

This was what I suspected would be the case. Just to be clear, this does not mean McD’s is ever a healthy place to eat!

Investigations indicate that Grimmway Farms was the common supplier of the organic carrots consumed by individuals before they got sick, according to the CDC. On Saturday, Grimmway Farms — which is one of the world’s largest producers of carrots — initiated a recall for multiple sizes and brands of its organic baby and whole carrots.
The recall applies to carrots sold at Trader Joe’s, Wegmans, Sprouts, 365 from Whole Foods, Good & Gather from Target, Marketside from Walmart, GreenWise from Publix, Simple Truth from Kroger, and more. A full list is available on the FDA website.

Given the omnipresence of veggie platters, this is concerning.

About two days ago I got a robocall and an email referring to carrots I’d bought in October. (Not the so-called “baby” carrots which to me always taste like mold.) We’d already eaten them without incident and bought more. The latter I dumped.

Gee I wonder where the e. coli comes from. Couldn’t possibly be from workers with no access to toilets, or time to use them.

I’d figured they were irrigating the crops with contaminated water. I forget how/why it ends up in beef, unless that’s what the cattle are drinking (& not sure it works that way)

The FDA said despite the results of microbial tests it conducted, Tom’s continued to distribute merchandise based on the test results of final products, but did not investigate the quality of water used in the process.

Just that damn regulatory overreach strangling our businesses! Gaaaaaahhhhhh!!!
