Monday, March 30th, 2009Peanut product recalls
Wednesday, February 4th, 2009As you already know this has turned into a HUGE recall. It’s bad enough when you have to have a recall with a finished product, but when it’s a base ingredient used in, well, just about everything it seems, it makes it that much harder to figure out where it all went and what it was used in.
I’ll admit I feel like I should take back my “convenience foods aren’t all evil” post and be trumpeting the merits of only working with local farms and businesses… (But even local businesses have to buy their base ingredients somewhere, and not all of them can make their own.) Local farms and businesses are still great, though, and this does tend to emphasize that just a bit. (But I doubt I can ever give up my French Bread Pizzas.)
Below is a widget from the FDA, as well as a link to the latest and greatest recall lists. I encourage you to browse the list, as these base peanut ingredients seem to have landed ALL over the country.
Here is a straight html page that you can also browse for the recalled items (FDA.gov). (More were added today.)
Another beef recall
Sunday, November 25th, 2007Pie Crust Recall
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007Heartland brand Graham Crusts have been recalled.
The somewhat good news (if there is any when it comes to a recall) is that it is due to “undeclared almonds, milk and coconut” and not contamination.
If you’ve got allergies, check your pantry.

Cargill’s is recalling ground beef products – distributed in New England & Mid Atlantic. This hits two of my local markets that I regularly shop at – Wegman’s and Giant.
This isn’t helping with my newfound “I don’t want to give myself food poisoning again” issues that are making me somewhat reluctant to get back in the kitchen.

Spinach Recall
Wednesday, August 29th, 2007
Another bagged spinach recall – check your fridge.
I don’t begrudge anyone the convience of the bagged produce, but you’ve got to wash it, I don’t care *what* the bag says. Doesn’t take up that much time and is better than getting sick. Besides, it would give you a great excuse to go to your nearest culinary goodie peddler and get something like this.
