It’s going to be fun when the trump administration kneecaps the FDA and deregulates the food industry. We will get far fewer warnings like this, and dear leader will tout that as evidence that the food supply is much safer.

Already researching how to test locally for heavy metals like lead, other things like cyanide, PFAs, anything else I can think of. Won't be able to trust our food anymore.
Any suggestions on where to begin?
Step 1, create the FDA.
c/nottheonion ?
Listeria monocytogenes is commonly found in soil, stream water, sewage, plants, and food.[5] Listeria in soil can contaminate vegetables, and animals can be carriers. It has been found in uncooked meats, uncooked vegetables, fruits including cantaloupe[30] and apples,[31] pasteurized or unpasteurized milk and milk products, and processed foods. Pasteurization and sufficient cooking kill Listeria
Oh ffs, not even veganism will save me anymore? Thought I was doin’ good avoiding all the diseased dead animal crap.
They've literally been dumping diseased animal's shit on veggies for such a long time. Every now and then we get E-coli breakouts in veggies that should be safe from shit.
Veganic agriculture is a thing, but very hard to find.
One day it's Listeria, the next it's Salmonella, and the next it's Bird Flu.
At this rate, whether you're a carnivore, omnivore, or herbivore, everyone is at risk of eating basically anything. But it's okay, as the grocery prices rise, we gradually get used to eating less, so eventually we won't need to eat anything anyways...
At this rate all that's going to be left safe to eat is Doritos and Cool Whip.
It's pronounced Cool Whip.
You’re saying it weird. Why are you putting so much emphasis on the H?
I’ve been living overseas for decades and this shit never happens in other countries. Why is this a constant problem in the States?
We have an FDA with less and less power and a culture of ruthless capitalism that thinks the baseline set by the government is still too high and needs to spend all effort cutting as many corners as possible to make the largest profit.
Unfortunately nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
First time I went to Germany in 2011 the whole duration there was a big E. Coli outbreak
Also can bet you haven’t spent time in china…
