The following link is good to keep in your memory or in your bookmarks on your browser because it lets you know of all the recent food recalls that may affect you.
See Recent Recalls | FoodSafety.gov

Today, Whole Foods Market is recalling one lot code of Whole Catch Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon (4 oz), cold smoked and sliced, sold in stores in 12 states, because it may contain Listeria Monocytogenes, an organism which can cause a sometimes fatal infection in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer short term symptoms, such as high fever, severe headaches, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Even if you think it won't affect you, check anyways! You can never be too safe.

Interesting post dannibear, and yes always good to be alert

Just last week here in Australia 2 people died and a lady miscarried due to Listeria Monocytogenes found in contaminated soft cheese. I think about 18 people were affected in total in two different states (Victoria and Tasmania)


I also read of about 30 people getting sick with E.Coli in Canada possibly from lettuce eaten from Taco Bell and KFC outlets


Makes me want to just eat home grown and cook at home

That is what I am planning to do. My boyfriend and I are heading to Home Depot to get some wood planks and we are making a raised bed for a vegetable garden. In the end, the money I save on produce will be worth it.
