Melanie James+FollowWhy Did the FDA Stop Testing Milk?!The FDA just hit pause on milk testing for bird flu—right when experts say we need it most. Cows across the US are getting sick, and some farm workers are catching it too. Experts are freaking out, warning that ditching these tests could make things way worse. If you drink milk or eat cheese, this is one to watch. Feels like we’re flying blind here! #BirdFlu #MilkTesting #PublicHealth #FDA #FoodSafety #Health54Share
Nicholas Coleman+FollowFree Fertilizer? Not So Fast!Ever heard of 'free' fertilizer turning into a nightmare? That’s what happened in Society Hill, SC, where an old textile mill gave farmers sludge that was supposed to help crops—but it was loaded with 'forever chemicals' (PFAS). Now, the EPA is stepping in to clean up, but the damage spread to thousands of acres. The lesson? Sometimes free stuff comes with a hidden price tag, especially when it comes to what goes into your food. #PFAS #FoodSafety #FarmLife #MoneyHacks #EcoChatter #Business00Share
xwest+FollowCheck Your Fridge for These Wraps!Did you grab a chicken & bacon ranch wrap recently in CT, MA, or NY? Heads up—there’s a public health alert for certain Rachel’s Food Corp. wraps (Big Y Quick Easy Meals & Market 32 by Price Chopper) because of possible listeria contamination. They’re not on shelves anymore, but if you spot a 10oz clamshell with a May 7 sell-by date and lot code 25122, don’t eat it! No illnesses reported, but better safe than sorry! #FoodAlert #Listeria #FoodSafety #CheckYourFridge #PublicHealth #Health10Share
suarezpatricia+FollowRice Drama: What’s Really in Your Bowl?Just found out that every single rice sample tested in a new report had arsenic—yep, 100%! And a quarter of them had more than what’s allowed in baby cereal. The wild part? There’s no limit for regular rice, even though we all eat it. Some types (like California white, Thai jasmine, and Indian basmati) are safer bets, but brown rice and risotto? Not so much. Maybe time to switch up your grains or try new cooking tricks! #FoodSafety #RiceFacts #HealthAlert #WhatWeEat #ToxicMetals #Health01Share
William Vasquez+FollowShakes Recalled After Deadly Listeria OutbreakDid you hear about the Listeria outbreak linked to frozen shakes in medical facilities? 42 people got sick and 14 died, all traced back to Lyons ReadyCare and Sysco Imperial shakes made by Prairie Farms. The FDA found the same Listeria strain in the factory, and now all those shakes have been recalled. If you had any of these shakes, watch for symptoms—Listeria can take weeks to show up! Stay safe and check your freezer! #FoodSafety #RecallAlert #Listeria #HealthNews #Health11Share
Melanie James+FollowSnack Mix Recall Drama!Did you hear about the 19th Hole Snack Mix recall? If you grabbed a tub in New England, NY, or PA, double-check it! Turns out, the packaging missed listing sesame and almonds—major allergens for some. The FDA says to return it for a refund, especially if you have allergies. Wild how a simple snack can turn risky so fast! Always read those labels, friends. Stay safe and snack smart! #FoodRecall #AllergyAlert #FDA #SnackMix #FoodSafety #Health10Share
Kevin Rodriguez+FollowMajor Sandwich Recall Alert!Did you grab a ready-to-eat sandwich or salad from Costco or a convenience store lately? Over 90 types of snacks and sandwiches (think turkey clubs, egg salad, and more) just got recalled for possible listeria contamination. 10 people have already been hospitalized! If you bought anything from Fresh & Ready Foods or brands like City Point Market, check those use-by dates (4/22/25–5/19/25) and toss them ASAP. Stay safe and spread the word! #FoodRecall #Listeria #Costco #FoodSafety #RecallAlert #Health130Share
xwest+FollowMystery Food Outbreaks on the Rise!Food mystery alert! The FDA is chasing down the sources of two new foodborne illness outbreaks—one’s Salmonella Montevideo (17 sick so far), the other’s E. coli O145 (11 cases). No word yet on what foods are to blame, but the hunt is on. Plus, Salmonella Enteritidis cases keep climbing—now up to 78 in one outbreak and 29 in another. Kinda makes you wonder what’s really in your fridge right now! #FoodSafety #OutbreakAlert #FDA #Salmonella #Ecoli #Health270Share
Melanie James+FollowIce Cream Recall Drama 🍦😱Did you hear about the massive ice cream recall? Wells Enterprises (yep, the Blue Bunny folks) just pulled thousands of 3-gallon tubs from shelves because they might have plastic bits inside! We're talking fan-fave flavors like Rocky Road, Mocha Almond Fudge, and even some frozen yogurt. No one’s been hurt, but if you’re a vanilla lover, double-check your freezer! Who knew dessert could be this dramatic? #IceCreamRecall #FoodNews #BlueBunny #FoodSafety #ICYMI #Health00Share
suarezpatricia+FollowIs Your Bread Hiding a Yoga Mat Chemical?Did you know some breads still have a chemical also used in yoga mats? The FDA is finally reviewing azodicarbonamide (ADA), which has already been banned in Europe, China, and more. ADA makes dough soft but can break down into chemicals linked to cancer and other health issues. Most big brands have dropped it, but it’s still in about 55 foods. Want to avoid it? Go organic, shop local, and always check those ingredient lists! #FoodNews #FDA #FoodSafety #Bread #HealthAlert #Health00Share
