Costco Recalls: Should You Toss Your Lunch?

Heads up, Costco fans! If you grabbed Topo Chico water in Texas or Louisiana, or Fresh & Ready sandwiches in AZ, CA, NV, or WA, check your fridge—some batches got recalled for possible bacteria. No illnesses yet, but better safe than sorry! This is a good reminder to always peek at recall alerts before you sip or snack. If you spot the affected lot codes, bring 'em back for a refund. Stay safe and keep your lunch drama-free! #CostcoRecall #FoodSafety #ConsumerTips

Would You Eat Garage Chicken?!

So, Popeyes is in a spicy mess—literally! A former chicken supplier claims the chain served up chicken stored in random garages (yep, like where you keep your car) in Canada, skipping food safety checks. The supplier says they got dropped after raising the alarm, and now they’re suing for millions. If true, this is a wake-up call: always check where your food comes from, especially when grabbing a quick bite! #FoodSafety #FastFoodDrama #Popeyes

Soup Leftovers? Here’s How I Store Them Safely

First, cool your soup down to about 70°F (21°C) within 2 hours. I usually set the pot in an ice water bath or stir in a few ice cubes if I’m in a hurry. Once it’s cooled, transfer the soup to a sturdy, airtight container. Leave the lid off and place it near the top of the fridge so it chills faster. After it drops below 40°F (4°C), seal the container and keep it in the fridge. I always check with a food thermometer just to be sure. Plan to eat your soup within 4 days. If you’ve got more than you can handle, freeze the extra in small containers or freezer bags—just don’t overfill! When reheating, make sure it hits 165°F (74°C) to keep things safe. That’s how I keep my soup fresh and tasty all week! #SoupStorage #Leftovers #FoodSafety #Food #Cooking

Is Your Milk Still Good? Quick Ways to Check

First, check the date on the carton. If it’s more than a week past the sell-by date, just toss it. Milk can last up to 7 days after the date if stored right, but that’s not a guarantee. Give it a sniff. Fresh milk barely smells, but sour milk will have a strong, unpleasant odor. If you wrinkle your nose, don’t risk it. Pour some into a glass and look for any yellowish tint or lumps. Good milk should be smooth and white—any chunks or dinginess means it’s time to let go. If you’re still unsure, microwave a small amount for 30 seconds. If it turns lumpy or gooey, it’s definitely bad. You can also drop a bit on baking soda. If it bubbles, the milk is sour and should be thrown out. Milk is packed with nutrients, but only when it’s fresh! #MilkTips #FoodSafety #KitchenHacks #Food #Cooking

Check If Your Eggs Are Still Good to Eat!

Fill a bowl or glass with room temperature water, about 3/4 full. Gently place your egg in the water. If the egg sinks and lays flat on the bottom, it’s fresh and good to use. If it stands upright, it’s still safe but should be used soon. If it floats, toss it out—air has gotten inside and it’s no longer safe. For extra caution, crack the egg open. Fresh eggs have a firm, round yolk and thick whites. If you see a runny white or the yolk is flat, it’s past its prime. Any bad smell means it’s definitely rotten. Always check the sell-by date on the carton, but remember, it’s just a guideline. Store eggs in the fridge at 40°F or below to keep them fresh longer. I always use these steps before making breakfast—better safe than sorry! #EggTips #KitchenHacks #FoodSafety #Food #Cooking

Grossest Restaurant Violations This Week

You won’t believe what inspectors found in Caddo Parish restaurants last week: think decomposed chicken thighs in a Ziploc, gnats in the kitchen, and raw meat stored above ready-to-eat food. Three spots racked up the most critical violations, but all issues were fixed on the spot. If you want to check your fave restaurant’s inspection history (or file a complaint), hit up eatsafe.la.gov.
