Listeria contaminated fruit? Metal-tainted meats? It’s not a scary story, it’s a real life recall and you may have some of these items in your own home. Please check your kitchen and make sure, especially if you have children, elderly, or ill family members. Some of these items could be deadly.
Tyson is recalling 69,093 pounds of frozen, ready-to-eat chicken strip products. Check the website for exact product codes and locations. 25 states are included on the list.
Henry Avocado is recalling avocados in 6 states, that can be identified by stickers reading “Bravocado,” or “Organic” or “California.”
I personally bought a dozen avocados to make guacamole the day before the recall was issued and it was only by the grace of God that we didn’t eat every one of them! If you bought any of the above, toss it into the trash immediately, secured from kids and pets, or return for a full refund.
Recalls seems to come frequently these days. Two weeks ago, I had to toss unopened Pillsbury flour that had Salmonella. The FDA regularly updates their danger list and I’m going to start following it more closely and check every label.
I will share this. I knew about the Tyson but not the avocado recall. Yes, it seems a whole lot is going on. I am especially careful anyway with any fruits/vegetables off season.
I used to be worried about the fruit imported from South America, but even stuff grown here in the US is not always free of contamination.
Thank you for sharing this important information!
I don’t know if there are more problems, or they are getting better at identifying foods that need a recall, but I think about it every time I’m at the grocery store, and keeping an eye out for notices.
