awaters+FollowCheck Your Freezer: Beef Recall Alert!Heads up, burger lovers! Some organic ground beef sold at Whole Foods might have E. coli, and the USDA says it could still be chilling in your freezer. If you bought Organic Rancher beef in late May, double-check those 'use or freeze by' dates. The packs are off shelves now, but if you find one, toss it or return it—don’t risk a BBQ gone bad! No illnesses yet, but better safe than sorry. #FoodSafety #RecallAlert #WholeFoods #Business4817Share
Jacqueline Ray+FollowMold in the Ice Machine?!Did you see the latest Perry County restaurant inspections? A couple of spots passed with flying colors, but one VFW and an American Legion both had black mold-like stuff inside their ice machines and coolers! 😳 Don’t worry, they cleaned it up on the spot, but yikes—makes you think twice about grabbing ice at the bar. The rest of the places? Totally clean bills of health. Always wild to see what inspectors find! #RestaurantInspections #FoodSafety #PerryCounty #Health40Share
Melanie James+FollowToxic Metals Found in Popular Rice!Just found out that a ton of popular rice brands in the US have arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury in them—yikes! A new study tested 145 rice samples and found 100% had arsenic, and over a quarter were above the FDA’s limit for baby cereal. Brown and white rice from the Southeast had the highest levels, while jasmine and basmati were a bit safer (but not totally clean). Homemade baby food with rice? Maybe think twice! #FoodSafety #RiceAlert #ToxicMetals #Health131Share
rmartinFollowingDaytona Restaurants Get Busted!Did you see this? Three Daytona-area restaurants were hit with roach and rodent violations last week—one even had to shut down temporarily! From live bugs to rodent droppings and some seriously sketchy food temps, the health inspectors were busy. If you’re eating out, you might want to check those inspection reports first. Would you go back to a place after seeing this? Wild! #DaytonaBeach #RestaurantInspections #FoodSafety #Health20Share
rmartinFollowingCucumber Crisis: Salmonella Outbreak GrowsCucumbers are causing chaos! The number of people sick from a Salmonella outbreak linked to Florida-grown cucumbers has nearly doubled, hitting 45 cases across 18 states. The CDC says the real number could be way higher since many cases go unreported. These cucumbers were sold everywhere—from grocery stores to cruise ships. If you’ve got cucumbers from Bedner Growers, it’s time to toss them. The FDA is still investigating, but this is one veggie drama you don’t want in your fridge! #FoodSafety #Salmonella #RecallAlert #Health40Share
rmartinFollowingIs Your Rice Hiding Toxic Metals?Just found out that almost every rice brand in the US has traces of arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury—yikes! Brown rice (especially from the Southeast or labeled 'grown in the USA') is apparently the worst offender. California, Thai jasmine, and Indian basmati rice are safer bets. The FDA doesn’t even have limits for regular rice, only baby cereal. Pro tip: cook rice in extra water and drain it to cut down on toxins. Who knew rice could be so shady? #FoodSafety #RiceAlert #HealthyEating #Health31Share
Kristin Shaw+FollowTomato Trouble: Check Your Freezer!Heads up, salad lovers! The FDA just turned up the heat on a tomato recall because of a serious salmonella risk—think stomach bugs, not just a bad batch. Even if you stashed some tomatoes in your freezer for later, you might want to toss them. Salmonella can survive the cold, and no one wants a surprise stomachache from last month’s groceries. Pro tip: Always double-check your produce labels before making that next pasta sauce! #FoodSafety #RecallAlert #LifeHacks #Business00Share
Brooke Martin+FollowDeadly Tomatoes? Check Your Fridge!Heads up if you bought tomatoes in Georgia, North Carolina, or South Carolina recently—some are being recalled for possible salmonella, and the FDA just slapped them with their highest warning. If you see H&C Farms on your tomato box, don’t risk it. Return them for a refund or toss them out. No one’s gotten sick yet, but better safe than sorry! Pro tip: Always check for recalls before you make that next salad. #FoodSafety #RecallAlert #TomatoRecall #Business10Share
Melanie James+FollowRice Brands Under Fire for Heavy MetalsJust found out that over 100 popular rice brands in the US have toxic heavy metals like arsenic, lead, and mercury—yikes! Brown rice from the southeast or labeled 'grown in the USA' had the highest levels, while Thai jasmine, Indian basmati, and California rice were safer bets. The wild part? There’s no federal limit for arsenic in rice for adults, only for baby cereal. Makes you think twice about what’s on your dinner plate! #FoodSafety #RiceAlert #HealthNews #Health10224Share
Stacy Fisher+FollowMayonnaise Mishap Turns DeadlyDid you hear about the mayo disaster in Riyadh? One person died and 75 got sick after eating contaminated Bon Tum mayonnaise at Hamburgini restaurant. The place got shut down, the mayo brand was pulled everywhere, and there’s drama about food inspectors allegedly trying to cover it up. People are speculating it was all about bad storage in the heat. Hamburgini’s back open now, but their reviews are still pretty rough. Wild reminder to watch out for sketchy condiments! #FoodSafety #Recall #Mayonnaise #Health13966Share
