1. Boar’s Head and Old Country Deli Meats
Today The Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service has announced an ongoing recall of Boar’s Head and Old Country deli meat, sausage, kielbasa, and other ready-to-eat deli meat items. This is the outcome of an outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes that has hospitalized and infected over 30 persons across the country
Today While the investigation continues, please dispose of any ham, salami, cheese, liverwurst, bologna, or other meats that may be impacted right away. Although listeria infection (also known as listeriosis) usually poses little threat to life, it can be dangerous for people 65 years of age or older, those with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, and small children. Fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps are typical signs of listeriosis. Convulsions, headaches, disorientation, and loss of balance are examples of more serious symptoms. If you get any of these symptoms after eating ready-to-eat Boar’s Head or Old Country pork products, consult your doctor.
2. Vegetables
Due to a potential Listeria infection, regional grocery retailers, Aldi, Kroger, and Walmart have recently recalled more than a dozen varieties of fresh vegetables that were sold in the produce section. Stores are responding by removing any impacted crops from their shelves. Affected produce includes a variety of peppers, herbs, squash, and seasonal veggies like cucumbers and green beans, among others. Thankfully, this recall is not linked to any illnesses.
Produce should always be washed before consumption or preparation to reduce the danger of bacterial contamination. Additionally, since bacteria like Listeria can spread fast to other people and food, make careful to wash your hands and any other surfaces that may be affected.
3. Cinnamon
Since an initial ground cinnamon recall in March because of excessive lead in the powder, cinnamon has been in the news all year. As more ground cinnamon items are being recalled due to the same problem, the issue has now reappeared.
At the moment, Shahzada-branded ground cinnamon and cinnamon powder, ALB Flavor, and Spice Class are impacted. Verify that the UPC and expiration date on any of these brands in your spice cabinet correspond to the recalled data. If it does, discard it or send the item back to the store where you bought it.
While short-term exposure to lead is usually safe, long-term exposure can be harmful to young children because it can damage their neurological systems permanently, leading to development defects, learning impairments, and other serious health issues.
