Customers who purchased the affected products are encouraged to avoid consuming them.
The list of grocery items that customers should stay away from right now just keeps getting longer. Coming on the heels of a Walmart supplier’s decision this week to pull potentially contaminated yogurt bars from shelves, Trader Joe’s and Costco shoppers are now being advised of health concerns over certain frozen fruits sold by these retailers, too.
Trader Joe’s announced today that its Organic Tropical Fruit Blend may have been contaminated with hepatitis A. The company is recalling packages of the product with the “Best By” dates of 4/25/24, 5/12/24, 5/23/24, 5/30/24, and 6/07/24.
Trader Joe’s said that it hasn’t received reports of any illnesses yet and has already destroyed all of the products that were potentially contaminated. Still, it urged any customers who purchased the frozen fruit blend to refrain from consuming it and either discard the product or return it to a store for a full refund.
As for Costco, customers in two states are advised to be wary of the warehouse club’s house brand Kirkland Signature Frozen Organic Strawberries. The club’s supplier, California Splendor, Inc., is recalling certain lots of the frozen fruit “due to an outbreak of hepatitis A illnesses,” according to an announcement posted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Luckily for most Costco customers, the recall only applies to 4-lb. bags of the frozen strawberries sold at warehouses in Los Angeles, Hawaii, and two San Diego-area business centers.
The announcement said that hepatitis A actually hasn’t been detected on the product, but out of an abundance of caution, it urged customers against eating the frozen fruit and directed them to return any packages to their local Costco for a refund. The company has halted production and distribution of the affected product and is working alongside the FDA to find the cause of the problem.
Customers can determine whether they purchased any of the recalled frozen strawberries by checking the lot number located above the “Best If Used By” date on the back of the package. If customers encounter any of the 13 lot numbers listed in the recall announcement, such as 140962-08, that means it is part of one of the potentially affected lots.
Hepatitis A is a contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Symptoms of the illness can last up to two months and include fatigue, nausea, stomach pain, and jaundice.
But getting vaccinated for hepatitis A within two weeks of exposure can actually prevent illness. The recall announcement encouraged anyone who may have consumed contaminated food to speak with a healthcare professional or local health department to determine if they may need a vaccine. It also urged anyone experiencing hepatitis A symptoms to immediately reach out to their health care providers or local health departments.
Costco’s and Trader Joe’s frozen fruit aren’t the only products that have sparked a recall this month. In fact, Trader Joe’s has issued two other recalls since the start of March for certain lots of its Wine Country White Chicken Salad with Cranberries & Pecans and Lemon Chicken & Arugula Salad. Customers can find more information on these and any other recalls on the retailer’s website.
Home › Dog Food Recalls › Purina Recalls Pro Plan Vet Diet Product Due to Elevated Levels of Vitamin D
Update March 10, 2023 — Nestlé Purina PetCare Company has expanded its voluntary recall of Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EL Elemental (PPVD EL) prescription dry dog food to two additional product lots, which precede the production dates of the previously recalled lots.
The expansion follows an investigation prompted by Purina that uncovered new information about a production error from a U.S. supplier made regarding this specific formula only and which resulted in potentially elevated levels of vitamin D.
February 8, 2023 — Nestlé Purina PetCare Company is recalling a limited amount of Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EL Elemental (PPVD EL) prescription dry dog food due to potentially elevated levels of vitamin D.
Vitamin D, while essential to a healthy diet, can cause health problems if ingested in too high an amount for too long.
What’s Recalled?
Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EL Elemental (PPVD EL) 8lb and 20lb bags. You can identify the recalled product by using the UPC and production codes in the image below.
This is a prescription-only product.
No other Purina products are impacted by this voluntary recall.
What Caused the Recall?
The recall has come after Purina was contacted about two separate confirmed cases (to date) of dogs exhibiting signs of vitamin D toxicity. Each had been on the diet but recovered once taken off.
Company Statement
According to the company (abridged statement):
Nestlé Purina PetCare Company is voluntarily recalling select lots of Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EL Elemental (PPVD EL) prescription dry dog food due to potentially elevated levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for dogs; however, ingestion of elevated levels can lead to health issues depending on the level of vitamin D and the length of exposure. Vitamin D toxicity may include vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, and excessive drooling to renal (kidney) dysfunction.
Purina is taking this action after receiving two contacts about two separate confirmed cases of a dog exhibiting signs of vitamin D toxicity after consuming the diet, to date. Once taken off the diet, each of these dogs recovered.
The affected dry dog food was distributed throughout the United States by prescription only through veterinary clinics, Purina Vet Direct, Purina for Professionals, and other select retailers with the ability to validate a prescription.
We apologize to pet owners and veterinarians for any concerns or inconvenience this situation has caused. As pet experts and pet owners ourselves, the health and well-being of pets is our top priority.
Purina recommends that pet parents immediately stop feeding the affected product to their dogs and discard any remaining food in a way that no wildlife or other animals can get to it.
It also recommends consulting your veterinarian if your dog has eaten the product and is showing symptoms such as weight loss, excessive drooling, vomiting, loss of appetite or increased thirst or urination.
Consumers are invited to reach out to Purina with any questions or for refunds. You may call 1-800-345-5678, Monday-Saturday, 8 am to 5 pm CST or via email at https://www.purina.com/contact-us.

Do not eat, sell, or serve recalled Utopia Foods, Inc. enoki mushrooms imported from China. FDA’s investigation is ongoing.
FDA, along with CDC and state and local partners, is investigating an outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes infections linked to enoki mushrooms. FDA has identified imported enoki mushrooms distributed by Utopia Foods, Inc. of Glendale, New York, as a likely source of illnesses in this outbreak. Enoki mushrooms are long thin white mushrooms, usually sold in clusters. They are especially popular in East Asian cuisine and are also known as enokitake, golden needle, futu, seafood, or lily mushrooms.
As of January 18, 2022, CDC reports three illnesses included in this outbreak. Two sick people reported eating enoki mushrooms or eating at restaurants with menu items containing enoki mushrooms. One patient did not report eating enoki mushrooms but reported shopping at various Asian grocery stores.
Through ongoing sampling efforts, FDA and state partners have been collecting and testing samples of enoki mushrooms. An import sample of enoki mushrooms branded as Utopia Foods, Inc. was collected by FDA and was reported as being positive for Listeria monocytogenes. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) analysis determined that the strain of Listeria found in this sample matches the strain of Listeria linked to two illnesses in this outbreak. FDA also detected an additional strain of Listeria monocytogenes in this sample, which is linked to one additional illness. Both strains are now included in this outbreak investigation.
As a result of this testing, Utopia Foods, Inc. voluntarily expanded their original recall (first issued on December 13, 2022) to include their 200g packages of “Enoki Mushrooms”, imported from China, with clear and blue plastic packages with clear markings of “Best before 03/02/2023” or “Best before 03.09.23”. These products were distributed between January 6, 2023, and January 13, 2023, in NY, NJ, and CT, to wholesale companies for further distribution.
FDA’s investigation is ongoing to determine a potential source of contamination and whether any other products are contaminated or linked to illnesses. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.
Recommendation
Consumers, restaurants, and retailers should not eat, sell, or serve recalled enoki mushrooms from Utopia Foods, Inc. and should return them to the place of purchase for a refund or throw them away.
Listeria is especially harmful if you are pregnant, aged 65 or older, or have a weakened immune system due to certain medical conditions or treatments. If you are in any of these groups, do not eat raw enoki mushrooms. Cook enoki mushrooms thoroughly to kill any foodborne germs. Other people can be infected with Listeria, but they rarely become seriously ill.
Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any of these symptoms after eating enoki mushrooms:
People who are not pregnant usually have fever, muscle aches, and tiredness. They may also get a headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, or seizures.
Pregnant people usually have fever, muscle aches, and tiredness. However, Listeria can cause pregnancy loss or premature birth. It can also cause serious illness or death in newborns.
Follow FDA’s safe handling and cleaning advice and use extra vigilance in cleaning and sanitizing any surfaces and containers that may have come in contact with these recalled products to reduce the risk of cross-contamination, including retailers who stored or repackaged recalled enoki mushrooms. Listeria can survive in refrigerated temperatures and can easily spread to other foods and surfaces.
Recalled Product
Utopia Foods Inc of Glendale, NY, is recalling its 200g packages of “Enoki Mushrooms”, imported from China. The recalled products were distributed nationwide in produce wholesale companies.

Symptoms of Listeriosis
There are a range of symptoms for listeriosis. Depending on the severity of the illness, symptoms may last from days to several weeks. Mild symptoms may include a fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. If the more severe form of listeriosis develops, symptoms may include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions. For the very young, the elderly, and the immune-compromised listeriosis can result in death.
People infected with L. monocytogenes may start to see symptoms in a few hours or as long as two to three days after eating contaminated food. More severe forms of listeriosis may take anywhere from three days to three months to develop.
Listeriosis can be particularly dangerous for pregnant women and their newborn babies, leading to serious complications with their pregnancy, including miscarriage and stillbirth. Babies born with a listeriosis infection may develop severe health complications that require immediate medical attention, lead to lifelong health problems, or result in death. Women who suspect they have symptoms of listeriosis (muscles aches, nausea, stiffness in neck, headaches, etc.) should seek medical care immediately and tell their health provider what they ate. Learn more about People at Risk of Foodborne Illness.
Due to the range in severity of illness, people should consult their health care provider if they suspect that they have developed symptoms that resemble a(n) L. monocytogenes infection.

Symptoms of Norovirus
People of all ages can get infected and sick with norovirus. The most common symptoms of norovirus are diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and stomach pain. Other symptoms include fever, headache, and body ache.
A person usually develops symptoms 12 to 48 hours after being exposed to norovirus. Most people with norovirus illness get better within 1 to 3 days.
If you have norovirus illness, you can feel extremely ill, and vomit or have diarrhea many times a day. This can lead to dehydration, especially in young children, older adults, and people with other illnesses. Symptoms of dehydration include decrease in urination, dry mouth and throat, and feeling dizzy when standing up. Children who are dehydrated may cry with few or no tears and be unusually sleepy or fussy.
If you think you or someone you are caring for is severely dehydrated, call your healthcare provider.
Recommendations for Consumers
Consumers who have symptoms of norovirus should contact their healthcare provider to report their symptoms and receive care. Healthcare providers should report their patient’s symptoms to their local Health Department.
Visit www.fda.gov/fcic for additional consumer and industry assistance.
Recommendations for Restaurants and Retailers
Restaurants and retailers should not sell the potentially contaminated oysters. Restaurants and retailers should dispose of any products by throwing them in the garbage or returning to their distributor for destruction.
Restaurants and retailers should also be aware that the oysters may be a source of pathogens and should control the potential for cross-contamination of food processing equipment and the food processing environment. They should follow the steps below:
Wash hands with warm water and soap following the cleaning and sanitation process.
Retailers, restaurants, and other food service operators who have processed and packaged any potentially contaminated products need to be concerned about cross-contamination of cutting surfaces and utensils through contact with the potentially contaminated products.
Retailers that have sold bulk product should clean and sanitize the containers used to hold the product.
Regular frequent cleaning and sanitizing of food contact surfaces and utensils used in food preparation may help to minimize the likelihood of cross-contamination.
Learn safety tips to protect you and your family when preparing foods that contain flour.
Flour is a raw food. It may not look like a raw food, but it usually is, just like fresh tomatoes or carrots. The grains from which flour is ground are grown in fields and, like all foods grown outdoors, they may be exposed to a variety of harmful bacteria like Salmonella and pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli).
Flours most commonly used in home baking and cooking are made directly from raw grains.
Processing raw grains into flour does not kill harmful bacteria.
Many foods made with flour also contain raw eggs, which may contain harmful bacteria.
Cooking is the only way to be sure that foods made with flour and raw eggs are safe.
Never eat or taste raw flour, dough, or batter.
OUTBREAK
Since 2009 there have been several outbreaks of foodborne illness involving raw flour or raw flour-containing products like cake mixes and cookie dough. These have resulted in 168 known illnesses and 20 hospitalizations.
Dos and Don’ts of Handling Flour
Check out this list of DO’s and DON’Ts to help keep you and your family safe when handling raw flour.
DO follow package directions on baking mixes and other flour containing products for correct cooking temperatures and specified times.
DO keep all raw foods, like flour and eggs, separate from ready-to eat foods. Remember, flour is a powder and spreads easily.
DO refrigerate cookie and pastry dough according to package directions. Use a refrigerator thermometer to be sure your refrigerator is at a safe 40°F.
DO clean up carefully after working with flour or raw dough and eggs:
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and running water, and,
Wash utensils, bowls, baking pans and cutting boards, and countertops with warm, soapy water.
DO NOT eat, taste, or allow children to eat or play with raw dough products or baking mix before cooking.
DO NOT keep recalled flour. Throw it away.
DO NOT let children use raw dough for crafts or play clay.
DO NOT use products that contain raw flour, like cake mix, to make ready-to-eat products like milkshakes.
DO NOT try to heat treat flour in your own home. Home treatments of flour may not effectively kill all bacteria and do not make it safe to eat raw.
DO NOT use raw cookie dough in ready-to-eat ice cream.
(CNN) The Food and Drug Administration is advising people in 13 states not to eat certain raw oysters from South Korea after at least one person in Las Vegas got sick with a virus that can cause diarrhea and vomiting.
The Southern Nevada Health District informed officials of two clusters of illnesses from a restaurant in Las Vegas, the FDA said. At least one person was confirmed to have sapovirus illness and nine others potentially had the same sickness. The oysters were served October 28 and November 5.
According to the FDA news release, sapoviruses cause a sporadic gastroenteritis and the most common symptoms are diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and stomach pain.
Symptoms usually show up within 48 hours, the FDA said.
“Consumers, especially those who are or could become pregnant, the elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems, who have recently consumed raw oysters in (13 states) and suspect they have food poisoning should seek medical care immediately,” officials said in the news release.
In addition to Nevada, the FDA advisory applied to consumers and sellers in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
The oysters were harvested February 6 and were exported by Dai One Food Company, the FDA said.
“The Korean firm has recalled frozen half shell oysters, frozen oyster IQF (individually quick freezing), and frozen oyster block harvested from the same harvest area” on February 6, FDA officials said.
Listeria is especially harmful if you are pregnant, aged 65 or older, or have a weakened immune system. If you are in any of these groups, do not eat raw enoki mushrooms. Cook enoki mushrooms thoroughly to kill any foodborne germs.
Investigators are working to identify specific brands of enoki mushrooms that may be contaminated with the outbreak strain of Listeria. However, many brands of enoki mushrooms have been recalled since the 2020 Listeria outbreak linked to enoki mushrooms.
Enoki mushrooms are white and have long, thin stems. They are often sold in a bunch with roots in sealed plastic packaging. They are popular in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean food, and they are almost always eaten cooked in soups, hot pots, and stir-fried dishes.
In 2020, CDC investigated the first known Listeria outbreak in the United States linked to enoki mushrooms. This outbreak resulted in three recalls of enoki mushrooms that were imported from Korea. Since then, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and public health officials from several states have been collecting samples of enoki mushrooms and found Listeria in many samples, resulting in more than 20 recalls of enoki mushrooms.
Information collected so far shows that enoki mushrooms are the likely source of these illnesses.
Both sick people reported eating enoki mushrooms or eating at restaurants with menu items containing enoki mushrooms. The outbreak strain was previously found in one sample of enoki mushrooms that FDA collected at import. However, to date, the firm associated with this sample has not been identified as a potential source of enoki mushrooms in this outbreak.
Investigators are working to identify specific brands of enoki mushrooms linked to these illnesses.
Listeria is especially harmful if you are pregnant, aged 65 or older, or have a weakened immune system due to certain medical conditions or treatments. If you are pregnant, it can cause pregnancy loss, premature birth, or a life-threatening infection in your newborn. Other people can be infected with Listeria, but they rarely become seriously ill.
If you are pregnant, aged 65 or older, or have a weakened immune system:
Do not eat raw enoki mushrooms. Cook enoki mushrooms thoroughly.
Listeria can grow on foods kept in the refrigerator, but it is easily killed by heating food to a high enough temperature.
Keep raw enoki mushrooms separate from foods that won’t be cooked.
This prevents the spread of Listeria germs from enoki mushrooms to foods that you won’t cook before eating.
Wash your hands after handling raw enoki mushrooms.
Clean your refrigerator, containers, and surfaces that have touched raw enoki mushrooms.
Listeria can easily spread among food, surfaces, and hands.
Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any symptoms of severe Listeria illness after eating enoki mushrooms:
People who are not pregnant may experience headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, in addition to fever and muscle aches.
Pregnant people usually experience only fever, fatigue, and muscle aches. However, Listeria can cause pregnancy loss or premature birth. It can also cause serious illness or death in newborns.
Do not serve raw enoki mushrooms.
Cook enoki mushrooms thoroughly before serving them to customers.
Do not use raw enoki mushrooms as garnish.
Do not add raw enoki mushrooms on top of soup dishes right before serving. The enoki mushrooms will not get hot enough to kill Listeria germs.
Keep raw enoki mushrooms separate from foods that won’t be cooked.
This prevents the spread of Listeria germs from enoki mushrooms to foods that you won’t cook before serving to customers.
Employees should wash hands after handling raw enoki mushrooms.
Listeria can cause severe illness (known as invasive listeriosis) when the bacteria spread beyond the gut to other parts of the body.
Almost all severe illnesses from Listeria result in hospitalizations and sometimes death.
Pregnant people and their newborns, adults 65 years or older, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for severe illness.
Other people can be infected with Listeria, but they usually get mild food poisoning symptoms, like diarrhea and fever, and usually recover without treatment.
Symptoms of severe illness usually start within 2 weeks after eating food contaminated with Listeria, but may start as early as the same day or as late as 10 weeks after.
People who are not pregnant may experience headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, in addition to fever and muscle aches.
Pregnant people usually experience only fever, fatigue, and muscle aches. However, Listeria can cause pregnancy loss or premature birth. It can also cause serious illness or death in newborns.

Do not eat, sell, or serve recalled Brie and Camembert soft cheese products from Old Europe Cheese, Inc. FDA’s outbreak investigation is ongoing.
The FDA, along with CDC and state and local partners, is investigating a multistate outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes infections linked to Brie and Camembert soft cheese products manufactured by Old Europe Cheese, Inc. of Benton Harbor, MI, and sold at various retailers under multiple labels and brands, including Reny Picot.
Based on epidemiologic information provided by CDC, of the five patients with information available, four (80%) report eating Brie or Camembert cheese prior to illness. FDA, with assistance from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, initiated an inspection at the Old Europe Cheese, Inc. facility in Michigan, which included sample collection and analysis. Analysis of environmental samples collected at the facility showed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) analysis determined that the Listeria strain found in the facility matches the Listeria strain causing illnesses in this outbreak.
Old Europe Cheese, Inc. has voluntarily recalled multiple brands of Brie and Camembert cheeses produced at their Michigan facility in response to investigation findings. The firm has also halted production and distribution of their Brie and Camembert products from the Michigan facility and is working with FDA on corrective actions. Consumers, restaurants, and retailers should not eat, sell, or serve recalled products and should throw them away; this includes Best By Dates ranging from September 28, 2022 to December 14, 2022, and all flavors and quantities. A full list of recalled products and stores that potentially sold these products is available below and on the firm’s recall.
FDA’s investigation is ongoing to determine if additional products are potentially contaminated. Updates to this advisory will be provided as they become available.
Recommendation
Consumers, restaurants, and retailers should not eat, sell, or serve recalled products and should throw them away; this includes Best By Dates ranging from September 28, 2022 to December 14, 2022, and all flavors and quantities. A full list of recalled products and stores that potentially sold these products is available below and on the firm’s recall.
Retailers may have repackaged bulk Old Europe Cheese items into smaller containers and sold this repackaged product to consumers. This repackaged product may not bear the original labeling and product information. If you are unsure where your Brie or Camembert cheese is from, ask your retailer or throw it away.
Listeria is most likely to sicken pregnant people and their newborns, adults aged 65 or older, and people with weakened immune systems. Other people can be infected with Listeria, but they rarely become seriously ill.
Call your healthcare provider right away if you have these symptoms after eating Old Europe Cheese Inc. or Reny Picot brand Brie and Camembert products:
Pregnant people typically experience only fever, fatigue, and muscle aches. However, Listeria infection during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn.
People who are not pregnant may experience headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, in addition to fever and muscle aches.
Follow FDA’s safe handling and cleaning advice and use extra vigilance in cleaning and sanitizing any surfaces and containers that may have come in contact with these products to reduce the risk of cross-contamination, including retailers who repackaged bulk recalled cheese. Listeria can survive in refrigerated temperatures and can easily spread to other foods and surfaces.

Parents and caregivers of infants who consume infant formula
Product
Product: Mother’s Touch Formula
Distribution: The product is sold at local markets in Kinzers, Loganton, and Gap, PA and was available for purchase directly from Mother’s Touch website.
Purpose
The FDA advises parents and caregivers not to buy or give Mother’s Touch Formula to infants under their care. The product is being marketed as an infant formula without the required pre-market notification to the FDA, and it does not meet infant formula nutrient requirements for seven nutrients.
Summary of Problem and Scope
The FDA has determined that Mother’s Touch Formula is not manufactured in compliance with the FDA’s infant formula regulations. The infant formula product is not tested to determine if it meets the nutrient requirements for infant formula, and contains label claims for seven nutrients that do not meet the nutrient requirements for infant formula such that consumption of this formula has the potential to cause nutrient deficiencies or toxicity in infants. In addition, the product was not fully tested for the presence of potentially harmful bacteria such as Cronobacter.
FDA Actions
The FDA advises parents and caregivers not to buy or give Mother’s Touch Formula to infants under their care because we have determined that this brand of infant formula is being marketed without pre-market notification to the FDA and has not been properly tested for the presence of potentially harmful bacteria. Additionally, nutrient label claims on the product label showed the product to contain nutrient amounts below the minimum levels required for protein, linoleic acid, calcium, sodium, potassium, and chloride; and above the maximum level allowed for iron.
Parents and caregivers of infants who have purchased this product should discontinue use and throw it away.
Parents and caregivers of infants who have used this product and are concerned about the health of their child should contact their health care provider.
To report a complaint or adverse event (illness or serious allergic reaction), you can:
September 6, 2022 — In a private email to customers, Spot and Tango announced it is recalling four batches of its UnKibble Dog Food product line because samples tested positive for Salmonella bacteria.
What’s Recalled?
The lot codes and SKU numbers for affected products listed below can be found on the bottom and back of each pouch.
No other Spot & Tango products or lot codes are impacted by this recall.
About Salmonella
The following was reproduced from the company’s email recall announcement.
Salmonella can affect animals eating the product and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products.
Dogs with Salmonella infections will most likely not exhibit any symptoms, though in rare cases they may be lethargic and have diarrhea (which may be bloody), fever, and vomiting. Some dogs may have only decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain.
Infected but otherwise healthy dogs can be carriers and infect other animals or humans through the fecal-oral route.
If your dog has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.
Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever.
Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms.
If you are exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product, please contact your healthcare provider.
What to Do?
If you have product matching the following description in your possession, you should stop feeding it to your dogs and dispose of it immediately.
If you have any of the recalled product, the company invites you to submit a refund request at this link: https://forms.gle/gVxoM1pimmHMqpB86.
Reporting Pet Food Problems
U.S. citizens can report complaints about FDA-regulated pet food products by calling the consumer complaint coordinator in your area.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for Perdue’s frozen ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken breast tenders “gluten free” that may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically small pieces of clear plastic and blue dye. A recall was not requested because the product is no longer available for purchase.
The frozen RTE chicken breast tenders “gluten free” were produced on July 12, 2022. The following product is subject to the public health alert:
42 oz. plastic bags containing “PERDUE CHICKEN BREAST TENDERS GLUTEN FREE” with a “Best if Used By: 07 12 23” and a lot number of 2193 above the use by date.
The products bear establishment number “P-33944” immediately below the “Best if Used By:” date on the back of the plastic bag. These items were shipped to BJ’s Wholesale Club retail locations nationwide.
The problem was discovered when the establishment reported to FSIS that it received a complaint from a consumer reporting a chicken tender had a small piece of clear plastic and blue dye inside it.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
As Skip likes to say, people send us stuff. Stuff about this or that, the other thing, or the other “other” thing. That includes links to stories about how the elites think we should be eating bugs, and I don’t mean the bunny. So, what about that? Eating Insects.
It’s all about saving the planet.
Insects will solve problems, they say. We’ll be able to feed more people, and it will be better for global communism everyone.
This type of content is piling up on the internet (and my In-Box) faster than poll workers in Atlanta can scan suitcases full of ballots for Biden.
It’s everywhere, like insects, because the narrative mills promoting it as our feed-trough future are pushing hard to convince people this will be – if not great – necessary.
Neither is accurate and not just because I’d rather starve than be accused of culinary cultural appropriation (Grasshoppers are supposed to be a delicacy in Uganda).
There are edible bugs, but eating bugs (even if you misgender them, you bigot) is not healthy for humans.
Insects contain a natural structural component in their exoskeletons called chitin. This fibrous polysaccharide happens to be extremely toxic to humans.
Research shows that Chitin can decrease our ability to absorb essential vitamins A and E and contributes to shrinking our thymus. But wait, there’s more!
So, “What would happen to a person that developed asthma, inflammation, immunocompromisation, vitamin depletion, etc., from an insect heavy diet if they contracted COVID and/or received a spike protein-inducing injection?”
I got this: they’d die, and public health officials would blame the unvaccinated even though mRNA vaccines compromise the immune system.
The Jabbed are already at increased risk of illness or hospitalization and even death if they contract the flu. Add a known toxin that can induce inflammation, and you are asking for more trouble, not less.
Edible insects are an underestimated reservoir of human and animal parasites. Our research indicates the important role of these insects in the epidemiology of parasites pathogenic to vertebrates. Conducted parasitological examination suggests that edible insects may be the most important parasite vector for domestic insectivorous animals.
If bread made from powdered crickets isn’t gross enough for you, this article won’t help: A new study from Italy finds that breads made with powdered crickets may be loaded with potentially dangerous bacterial spores.
…
But brace yourself… there’s more. Crickets can introduce new diseases all by themselves. This from a 2021 study:
“Insects generally have high reproductive rates leading to rapid population growth and high local densities; ideal conditions for disease epidemics. The parasites and diseases that naturally regulate wild insect populations can also impact when these insects are produced commercially, on farms. While insects produced for human or animal consumption are often reared under high density conditions, very little is known about the microbes associated with these insects, particularly those with pathogenic potential…. his will become particularly relevant as-and-when cricket rearing facilities scale up and transform from producing insects for animal feed to producing insects for human consumption.”
You don’t build a strong civilization on a diet of insects, but you could probably undermine one with them. Especially if you also happen to be part of the depopulation cabal that pushed mandatory mRNA vaccines.
If we stop needing gasoline (which you’d love), what do you plan to do with the billions of bushels of corn we would no longer be shoving into gas tanks? Feed it to the crickets?
How do you plan to balance your big bug-food agenda against Insect rights activist groups (clearly your sort of people on many other issues)?
And yes, we’re going to keep bugging you until we get an answer.
The fast-food chain Wendy’s has decided to pull the lettuce from all its sandwiches in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania over concerns relating to an E. coli outbreak.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating whether people who recently reported falling ill after eating Wendy’s are connected with 37 people that were also reported sickened by an E. coli outbreak.
The CDC is also looking into whether romaine lettuce is the source of the outbreak and whether the romaine lettuce supplied at Wendy’s was also served or sold at other businesses.Ticker Security Last Change Change % WEN THE WENDY’S CO. 21.15 -0.18 -0.84%

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WHNT) — Over 13,000 pounds of frozen meat pizza are being recalled due to the possibility of metal pieces in the food, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.
The specific products being recalled were made on June 6, 2022. The 33.5-oz packages of Home Run Inn Chicago’s Premium Pizzeria Deluxe Sausage Classic Pizza have a best-by date of Dec. 3, 2022.Courtesy: USDA FSIS
These packages will also have an establishment number of “EST. 18498-A” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
According to the USDA, the problem was discovered when that distributor received consumer complaints reporting that metal had been found in the pizza. No confirmed injuries or adverse reactions have been reported so far.
The FSIS said the pizzas were sent to a distributor in Illinois and then distributed to other retailers across the country.
The agency encourages anyone who has these products in their freezers to throw them out or return them to their place of purchase. Distributors are also advised not to sell the pizzas.
