PepperPenguin+FollowFinally know why Allergic to Wine!Never thought a glass of wine could cause so much trouble until I started sneezing and my face turned red at a dinner party. Turns out, wine allergies are real and not just about sulfites—histamines and other additives can trigger reactions too. It’s honestly frustrating how little info is out there about food safety when it comes to drinks. Labels barely mention anything useful. I wish there were stricter regulations or at least clearer warnings for people with sensitivities. #WineAllergy #FoodSafety #WineProblems #AllergyAwareness #Food00Share
HipHopHarmony+FollowMy Friend Nearly Poisoned Himself Making Almond Milk😨😨Never thought I'd have to say this, but bitter almonds are not for DIY almond milk. My friend tried it and the whole kitchen reeked like a swimming pool—turns out that's hydrogen cyanide. It’s wild how easy it is to mix up sweet and bitter almonds, but the consequences are serious. We called poison control, and luckily he’s just a bit sick, but it could’ve been so much worse. This isn’t just a random kitchen fail—bitter almonds can actually kill you if you don’t know what you’re doing. #FoodSafety #BitterAlmonds #KitchenFails #PSA #Food00Share
SerendipitySprite+FollowIs It Just Me or Should Cream Desserts Always Be Refrigerated?!I’m honestly confused after visiting a bunch of Stars and Shaw Markets around Massachusetts. Some of these stores are just leaving cream desserts out on tables all day, while others keep them chilled. Isn’t that a food safety risk? I always thought anything with cream needs to be refrigerated to avoid bacteria and spoilage. Maybe I’m missing something, but it feels like a basic rule. Has anyone else noticed this? Would you still buy those desserts if they’re just sitting out? #foodsafety #creamdesserts #groceryshopping #massachusetts #publichealth #Food20Share
Jacqueline Ray+FollowCheck Your Fridge, Walmart Recalled its Cucumber!Cucumber lovers, heads up! Walmart just joined Target, Publix, and others in recalling cucumbers linked to a Salmonella outbreak across 25 states. The recalled cukes were sold between April 29 and May 19, and it’s not always obvious which ones are affected—some don’t even have labels. If you can’t tell where your cucumbers came from, toss them to be safe. And if you’ve had them at home, give your kitchen a good clean to avoid any nasty surprises! #RecallAlert #Walmart #FoodSafety #CucumberRecall #Salmonella #Health10Share
Megan Garcia+FollowDid You Just Buy This at Walmart?Heads up if you shop at Walmart! Several popular snacks and meals—think frozen ravioli, tortilla chips, celery sticks, and even baked beans—were recently recalled for surprise ingredients like wood bits, milk, or soy, and even a risky bacteria. If you’ve got any of these in your pantry, double-check the labels and consider a return. This wave of recalls shows how even big stores can slip up, so always peek at those recall alerts before your next grocery run! #WalmartRecall #FoodSafety #SmartShopping #ConsumerTips #Shopping10Share
EnigmaEvoker+FollowDid Anyone Else Learn the Egg-Lips Test from Their Parents?!There’s this old-school trick my parents swore by: holding an egg up to your lips to check if it’s still good. Supposedly, if the egg feels warm against your lips, it’s fresh; if it stays cold, it’s gone bad. My folks picked it up from their parents, who probably heard it in the 50s or 70s. But I’ve never seen anything about this on Google or in any food safety guide—just the classic float test. Maybe it’s one of those weird things families pass down that never make it into official advice. #FoodKnowledge #EggHacks #KitchenTraditions #FoodSafety #Food10Share
Melanie James+FollowSausage Recall Alert Before BBQ Weekend!Just when you’re planning that epic Memorial Day cookout, there’s a smoked sausage recall you need to know about! Bourgeois Smokehouse’s andouille sausage (sold at Rouses in AL, LA, and MS) tested positive for Listeria. No labels or USDA marks to spot—if you grabbed sausage from the butcher counter, toss it or return it for a refund. No illnesses yet, but let’s not take chances before summer kicks off. Conecuh sausage is still safe, and burgers are always a win! #FoodRecall #MemorialDay #FoodSafety #BBQ #SausageAlert #Health497Share
Kristin Davis+FollowCucumber Recall: Check Your Fridge!Cucumbers are being pulled from shelves after a Salmonella outbreak hit 15 states, with 26 people already sick. If you grabbed cucumbers from Bedner’s or other stores since late April, double-check your stash! They might not even have a label. The FDA says to toss any questionable cukes and scrub down surfaces they touched. If you’re feeling off (think fever, cramps, or worse), don’t wait—call your doc. Stay safe and spread the word! #RecallAlert #FoodSafety #Salmonella #CheckYourFridge #StaySafe #Health10Share
StarlitSentinel+FollowWhy Does McDonald's Ignore Terrible Store Reviews? 🍔🤔Every time I see a McDonald's with consistently awful reviews, especially about food safety, it makes me wonder why corporate doesn't step in. It's not just about cold fries or slow service—sometimes people mention undercooked burgers or dirty dining areas. That’s a real concern. Food safety should be a top priority, and repeated complaints shouldn't just be brushed off. It feels like corporate only cares when something goes viral or legal action is threatened. Why wait for a crisis? Shouldn't there be more accountability for franchises that keep failing at basic standards? #McDonalds #FoodSafety #CustomerExperience #FastFoodProblems #Food37Share
NimbleNimbus+FollowRestaurant Gave Us Wrong Order, Then Wanted It Back?! Food Safety Concerns Now…Picked up Chinese takeout and got someone else’s order—$54 for two entrees should’ve been a red flag. We opened and ate some before realizing the mistake. When we called, the restaurant asked us to bring the food back, even after we told them it was already opened and partially eaten. Back at the restaurant, they actually opened every container to check what was left. Got refunded and charged for our correct order, but now I’m honestly worried. What do they do with returned food? Is this a normal practice? I always thought once food leaves the restaurant, it shouldn’t go back. This has me questioning food safety at my favorite spot. Anyone else experienced this? #foodsafety #takeoutproblems #restaurantstories #chineserestaurant #communityconcerns #Food23Share
