When you purchase any food that is packaged most of the time you will be ok with your purchase. However from time to time things do happen in the factory or elsewhere and you are taking a chance suffering illness or worst. You need to be aware that there are a lot of recalls out there that are hazardous to your health.

We all hear all the warnings on the evening news often about packaged foods containing Listeria, Salmonella and E Coli. We hear it so often that most of the time we don’t even pay attention.

I was surprised to find out that so many foods were recalled over the past two months for Listeria, Salmonella and E Coli.

In my own Kitchen Cabinet is Ground Turmeric that is currently recalled for elevated levels of Lead.

Just a SMALL sampling from the recall list are-

Honey Bunchies Gourmet Honey Bears – Listeria

Bounce Protein Energy Bars- Listeria

Molly & Drew Beer Bread Mix- E Coli

Kashi & Bear Naked – Snack Bars & Granola- Listeria

Whole Foods- Raw Macadamia Nuts- Salmonella

C&W Peas- Listeria

Bountiful Harvest, First Street, Great Value Frozen Peas & Mixed Vegetables – Listeria

Whole Foods Pesto Pasta Salad w/ Arugula- Listeria

Krusteaz Pancake Mix – Possible E Coli

Gold Medal Flour and Wondra Flour – E Coli

General Mills Indian Curry – Listeria

PF Changs Home Meals- Metal Fragments

Marie Callender’s Biscuit Mix – E Coli

Golden Dipt Jalapeño Breader – E Coli

Grassfield’s Cheese 6 varieties Shigna Toxic Producing E Coli

Food can get infected by the handling. E Coli happens with direct contact to feces. You don’t know what kind of person handled your packaged food. Do you?????

 

You can’t grow everything you need in your kitchen yourself but you must make an effort to be aware about the recalls.

There are lots of Recalls out there that are Hazardous to your Health.
