Latest Food & Product Recalls

A child was rushed to the ER for surgery after a loose metal grill brush needle which had found it's way inside of the food while cooking became lodged in his throat. Swallowing a grill brush bristle can create a perforation leading to infection and death, and is a common, and entirely unnecessary summertime danger when alternative methods for cleaning the grill exist which are safe and harmless. The CDC, or centers for disease control and prevention, recommends consumers clean their grills with moist rags or paper towels, as reliably detecting a hair sized metal bristle from a grill brush on a dark grill where dark food is prepared is unrealistic, and by the time you discover you've consumed one it may be too late.

New research suggests macaroni and cheese powder contains high concentrations of potentially dangerous chemicals. The Coalition for Safer Food Processing and Packaging, the group behind #KleanUpKraft, tested 30 cheese products for phthalates, a group of plastics used to make plastics more flexible. Phthalate levels were more than four times higher in macaroni and cheese powder. Chemicals were found in 29 of 30 samples of macaroni and cheese products tested, including organic products. While phthalates are not added to food, they may slip in through processing. Past research has linked phthalates to health issues including hormone disruption and lower sperm count.
